THE BRITISH AMERICAN :

A MONTHLY MAGAZINE,

devoted to

LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND ART.

EDITED BY HENRY YOULE HIND, M.A., F.R.G.S.,

ASSISTED BY NUMEROUS TALENTED CONTRIBUTORS.

The aim of the British American Magazine is to encourage British American Literature, to
offer an opportunity, long desired by many, for giving public and permanent expression to heir
thoughts, to foster a taste for literary pursuits, to present from time to time the marvels of
Science in familiar language, easily understood by all, to supply a monthly abstract o, whate
fs interesting and valuable ’in the periodical literature of Great Britain and a brief of

the pro°res 3 of Literature, Science, Industry, and Art, throughout British North America.

It will be within the province of the Magazine to furnish critical notices of new publications,
unfettered by prejudice, nationality, or religious bias; and while political discussions of a party
character will be absolutelv excluded from its pages, yet descriptive and suggestive articles
relating to our Civil Polity, Home Institutions, Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce,
affecting the general interests of the country, will be freely admitted.

The success which has already been won, coupled with the ability, standing, and literary
attainments of many gentlemen and ladies who have already contributed to the pages of the
Magazine and of others whose names are now enrolled among its literary supporters, have
entirely dissipated those doubts of its permanence which usually prevail at the commencement
of similar undertakings; and afford the best security that its pages will be enriched with lit-
erary productions of a high order of merit, and carefully prepared articles ou public subjects.

Each issue contains 112 pages, forming at the close of the year Two Volumes of 672 pages each.

Terms , Three Dollars per Annum, payable in advance.

%* Now ready, Vol. I., in handsome cloth binding, price $1.75.

ROLLO & ADAM, Publishers.

THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION OF CANADA AND THE BRITISH AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

The first five numbers of this Magazine were placed in the Falace at the exhibition recently held in Montreal,
and the Judges on Printing, &c., recorded the following minute in their Prize List with reference to this
miblication “ The Judges in Class 50 beg to make honorable mention of the British American Magazine,
nublished by Messrs. Kollo & Adam of Toronto. The contents of the numbers issued give promise of great
interest and usefulness, and the Judges trust that the reading public will extend a generous patronage to this
publication, so creditable to the Province.

OPINIONS.

This Magazine has a large list of subscribers, and the
effort which has been made to deserve it is most cred-
itable. — Montreal Gazette.

Such a Magazine ought, and we have no doubt will
meet with a liberal support in Canada.— Montreal
Herald

This Magazine seems to he the first serious and hope-
ful attempt with us to establish a recognized channel
in which the latent stream of literary talent of the
country may flow. — Montreal Daily Witness.

It is of great value and interest. No Canadian of
intelligence can afford to do without it while it main-
tains its present status . — Toronto Globe.

It is decidedly the most promising attempt to estab-
lish a literary periodical in this Province which has
been made since the days of the Literary Garland . —
Quebec Chronicle.

The literary and scientific merits of this Magazine
are of no mean order, and lead us to anticipate that it
will prove a success.— Quebec Gazette.

This attractive periodical contains very happily the
several features or a Literary, Political, Scientific, and
Popular Magazine. — American Publisher’s Circular.

The Publishers are full of energy; and with the
talented and well-known Editor ana hi3 staff of Cana-
dian contributors, the British American is, we think,
destined to be a permanent and creditable addition to
the growing literature of Canada.— Owen Sound Times.

We sincerely hope that the British American will
receive the support which it well deserves. We place
it above the American Monthlies, and believe that it
will rank high among the British.— Norfolk Messenger.

The want of some periodical devoted to the general
literature of Canadian origin and growth, has long
been felt, and it is with pleasure therefore we hail this
new enterprise of the Publishers.— Newmarket Era.

The style and character of the articles would grace
the columns of the leading English “ Monthlies.”—

Whitby Gazette.

ANNUAL RECORD

FOR THE YEAR

1864 :

A

HAND-BOOK OF STATISTICAL AND GENERAL INFORMATION.

Edited by James Kirby, NI.A., Advocate.

VOL. I.

Montreal :

PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY JOHN LOVELL.

r\

PREFACE.

Some months ago the prospectus of a new work, to be entitled the British
North American Almanac, was issued by the publisher. The object, as then
intimated, was to bring together, in a convenient and accessible form, a body of
statistical and general information relating to the British North American
colonies, particularly the five provinces. The present work is laid before the
public in fulfilment of the promise then made. The publication has been consider-
ably retarded by the difficulty of obtaining information from distant parts, and by
other obstacles necessarily incident to the preparation of a first volume. In
future, however, the work will be issued at an earlier period.

The present number is offered as an earnest of what will be attempted in
subsequent editions. Ho pains have been spared to render the work an accurate
and reliable authority on the subjects included within it. Imperfections will
doubtless be discovered in this introductory volume, but the conductors trust in
subsequent publications to render the work complete and thoroughly reliable in
every respect.

The compilers avail themselves of this opportunity to thank those who have
assisted them in the undertaking. The Meteorological Tables and Statistics were
prepared by Dr. Smallwood, Professor of Meteorology in McGill University ;
and the Astronomical Tables for the respective months by Osborne P. Cross, Esq.,
formerly of the Nautical Almanac office, London, England. The information
relating to the Law Courts of Lower Canada was compiled by George Futvoye,
Esq., of the Crown Law Department, being similar to that formerly contained
in the Lower Canada Law Almanac, published by that gentleman. The article
on Education, Upper Canada, is from the pen of J. George Hodgins, Esq.,
Deputy Superintendent of Education for Upper Canada ; and that on Education,
Lower Canada, was furnished by the Hon. P. J. 0 . Chauveau. The Militia
Lists were corrected for this publication at the Adjutant General’s Department,
under the supervision of W. R. Wright, Esq., senior clerk. The compilers are

also indebted to the Deputy Inspector General for reports ; to J. W. Dunscomb,
Esq., for Tables of Navigation at Quebec ; to S. Keefer, Esq., for the Railway
Inspector’s Report ; to C. H. Kirby, Esq., of the Montreal Herald , for valuable
Parliamentary papers and documents ; and to others who have rendered assistance
in various ways.. The larger part jof the information relating to New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia has been compiled for this publication by Alexander Monro,
Esq., author of several works on the Lower Provinces. Reports were also kindly
forwarded from several of the public departments. In the part of the work
relating to Newfoundland, the compilers are under obligations to the Attorney
General’s department, and to the Hon. R. Carter, acting colonial secretary, for
corrected lists of the Judiciary, &c., and valuable manuscript information; also
to J. Seaton, Esq., editor of the St. John's Express , Newfoundland, who com-
piled a considerable portion of the information relating to this colony.

A series of Obituary Notices, and a Summary of the Events of 1862 and 1868,
have been added. The materials for this part of the work have been chiefly
derived from the newspaper press. Care has been taken to render them as
faithful and impartial as possible.

Information will be thankfully received during the year from those who feel
an interest in the work. All notifications of changes and new appointments,
addressed to the office of publication, will be carefully attended to.

Remarks for 1861: Barometer .- The mean reading of
the Barometer for the year was 0.146 inches lower than
the mean reading of 1860. The greatest range with a
rising column occurred on the 6th of March, an ^ in 8
hours equalled 0.474 inches. A sudden tall also took

inches; there were also two other considerable fluctua-
tions during the month of March. At 2 P-
27th of May the Barometer stood at 28.883 inches, a
somewhat unusual reading for May. There were also
considerable fluctuations in October and December.

Thermometer . — The mean temperature sho\^d a de-

crease of 1°69 degrees compared with I860. 1 he coia
term of January attained its minimum on thelJthaay,
when the Thermometer was 78 hours below zero. Dur-
ing the cold term of February the Thermometer ^was i56
hours below zero. The mean temperature ot the Wtoter
quarter was ll.°28; of the Spring quarter, 34.^; of
the Summer quarter, 66.°77 ; and oflhe Autumn quarter,
46.°10.

Humidity of the Atmosphere .— The difference in hu-
midity was only .006 less than the mean humidity oi
1860.

Rain .— The amount of rain was 1.432 inches less than
the amount of 1860.

Snow .— The amount of snow exceeded by 38.26 inches
the amount of 1860, and by 20.01 inches the average
amount of 20 years.

Wind . — This w as a more windy year than that of I860,
and exceeded by 11083.46 miles the horizontal move-
ment of the wind during the year I860.— The total
amount for the year was 55296.78 miles. iaaoq

The greatest Intensity of the Sun’s Rays was 104d
and the lowest point of Terrestrial Radiation — 39 U4
(below zero.) _

Aurora Borealis visible on 42 nights.

Solar Haloes were seen on 11 days.

Note.— In consequence of the removal of the Observ-
atory from Isle Jesus to Montreal, in October 1862 the
yearly means have only been compiled for 1861 * We
propose in future to bring up the means to the latest
possible date, which could not be done in the present
instance for 1862, as the observati >ns were made for
different periods of the year at two distant statious.

History of Almanacs .— The term “ almanac ” is pro-
bably derived from two Arabic words, meaning “ the
diary." The pastoral life of the Arabs, and the solitary
wastes in which they are uccustomed to live, predis-
pose them to religious fanaticism and a belief in astro-
logy- ^'K hey P erfo,m n « operation of daily life, and
undertake no expedition, without first consulting the
stars To satisfy this general demand for celestial
knowledge, almanacs, or books giving general infor-
mation and advice upon the movements of the heavenly
bodies, became common over the Arabian and Moham-
medan world. From them this fashion of literature
spread over Christendom, together with most of the
Arabian prototypes, so that it is only of late years that
astrological predictions have not been contained in
nine almanacs out often. Many manuscript almanacs
ot the middle ages are preserved in the libraries of
Germany, France, and England. Some of the 14th
century are to be seen in the library of the British mu-
seum and of Corpus Christi college, Cambridge. The
Bibliotheque Imperials at Paris contains an almanac
for 1442. The earliest printed almanac of which there
is any record is that of George von Purbach, who lived
at Vienna about the year 1160. In 1474, Regiomontanus,
a German mathematician, resident at the court of the
Hungarian king, Matthias Corvinus, published a la-
mous series of almanacs in German and Latin, lasting
irom 1476 to 1506. Since that time a continuous chain
of these publications can be traced down to our own
day. The series of Regiomontanus contained only the
eclipses and the places of the planets, and sold for 10
crowns of gold. Yearly almanacs first appeared in the
16th century. They began to be filled with partisan

prophecies against parties and individuals in the state.
1 his was prohibited with respect to French almanacs,
of of * rance » lI } lo79. The almanack royal

of 1 ans, 16<9, contains notices of post times, court re-
^ ,rs ’ a " d markets. To this’ was soon
logy of the reigning house, a list of the
L t h ."' gS - 5 1 ® history of almanacs in
England, like the history of her periodical press is
peculiarly interesting, because the freedom of printing,
^^J^rhamentary government, and the quantities of
almanacs that have been preserved in old libraries

S?hm U8 w fo !l2. w U P the several stages of their growth
with much facility. James I. granted a monopoly of the
S'" almanacs to the Universities and Stationers’
Company subject to the censorship of the archbishop

of Canterbury and the bishop of London, and under
their auspices astrology and popular superstition flour-
ished almost unopposed until the year 1775. The puri-
tan spirit of England was naturally very repugnant to
this style of almanac, and to suit that taste the almanac
of Allstree was published. In 1775, a blow was struck
at the monopoly, by Thomas Uarnan, a London book-
S er> ^ h ° thoaght jt i,le S al - The case was argued
; 2; *5® cou ^ common pleas, and decided against
the Stationers Company. Lord North, then prime
minister, brought in a bill to legalize the privilege, but

i r K Je v ed , hy a ma J° rit y of 75, after an able
argument by Erskme at the bar of the house against
of the monopoly. The freedom of
competition m almanacs did not result in an immediate
improvement of them. They continued to be filled
with nonsense and obscenity, because the popular taste
?iTfn?^ ed lt# i J n 182 ?J. tl , ie Society for the diffusion of
UsefulKnowiedge published the British almanac, which
effected an entire revolution in the time-honored usa-
ges of almanac publishers. From that time the empire

f5T aS at *? n end - The new spaper press of
Biitam took the matter up and covered the old style of
publications with ridicule. The Stationers’ Company
was at last obliged to follow the example, and they
brought out the Improved Englishman’s Almanac. C*f
German almanacs, the almanack cle Gotha (now in its
101st year) has the widest reputation. The French al-
ma nack lmp erial and almanack de France extend to
about 1000 octavo pages each. Astrological and necro-
mantic almanacs keep their ground in France, and
manifest much vitality. — The earliest intellectual pro-
auctions of the European race on the American conti-
• nent were psalm books and almanacs. Benjamin
l ran kl in s I oor Richard’s Almanac (1732) was the first
rational one of its class. Almanacs are at the present
time essentially a branch of popular literature : there
is no such thing as a general polyglot almanac of civi-
lization but each nation moulds its almanacs to suit
its own tastes an inhabits of thought. What was once
the daily companion and cherished luxury of kings and
queens, court ladies and royal mistresses, has become
popularized, and placed within the reach of the wives
of country farmers and city mechanics. An amount
of information, useful to the domestic sanctuary and
the counting-house of the man of business, can be dif-
fused by these publications, which the learned doctor
who revelled in a court pension some centuries ago
could never have dreamed of.- Condensed from article
in Appleton s new American Cyclopcedia.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA,

A stranger, totally unacquainted with our institu-
tions, coming suddenly into our midst, might for a
time suppose from the not unfrequent recurrence of
the term “British North America,” that these trans-
atlantic possessions of Great Britain were united under
a federal governments But so far from this being the
case, even the small colony of Prince Edward Island
enjoys its distinct and separate government, although
at least the three Provinces of Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island would seem ad-
mirably grouped for a united government. As how-
ever the provinces and territories are not connected
by any federal or legislative union, it has seemed pre-
ferable to give the statistics and other information
relating to each separately. This arrangement leaves
very little to be said of British North America as a
whole; and after noticing at length a project of great
public interest, we shall pass on to the Provinces in
detail.

Area and Population.— The size of the British pos-
sessions in North America somewhat exceeds the area
of the United States before any secession had taken
place. The combined territory is equal to a square of
1,770 miles, or, in other words, more than three mil-
lions of square miles. This vast area is peopled by
about four millions of inhabitants, of whom nearly
three millions are contained in the Canadas.

Political Divisions.— These are the Provinces of Can-
ada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward
Island, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island, British Co-
lumbia, Red River Settlement, and Hudson Bay Terri-
tory.

Natural Advantages. — British North America is
famous for its magnificent rivers and lakes, splendid
fisheries, rich and varied mineral resources, and vast
supply of timber. It can also boast of a fertile soil and
healthful climate. We here quote from a letter from
the Hon. Joseph Howe to Earl Grey in 1850:

“ A very common idea prevails in the mother coun-
try that nearly the whole continent of North America
was lost to England at the time of the revolution, and
that only a few insignificant and almost worthless pro-
vinces remain. This is a great, and if the error ex-
tensively prevails, may be a fatal mistake. Great Bri-
tain, your lordship is well aware, owns up to this mo-
ment one-half the continent, and, taking the example
of Europe to guide us, I believe the best half. Not
the best for slavery, or for growing cotton and tobacco,
but the best for raising men and women, the most'
congenial to the northern European, the most proyo-
cative of steady industry, and, all things else being
equal, the most impregnable and secure.”

Without further anticipating what may be found
elsewhere under Its proper head, we proceed to notice
an important project which has been before the public
for many years.

THE INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY.

The importance, political and commercial, of a union
of the British North American Colonies, has frequent-
ly been urged by persons whose opinions are entitled
to consideration ; and intimately connected with this
subject, is the project of a railway from Halifax to
Quebec. As the Canadian Legislature during the last
ieasion made an appropriation for a survey of the line,

and as public opinion is almost unanimous in favor of
the railway, should the survey demonstrate that it can
be executed on satisfactory terms, it may be interesting
to give here a brief history of the project.

Lord Durham's opinion— A quarter of a century
ago, Lord Durham, the Commissioner sent out in
1838 to inquire into the Canadian rebellion, in his re-
port on Canada, dated 31st January 1839, and present-
ed to Parliament 11th February 1839, strongly advo-
cated a confederation of the Colonies, and the con-
struction of a road from Nova Scotia to Canada. The
following are some extracts from his Lordship's re-
port :

“We must remove from the Colonies the cause to
which the sagacity of Adam Smith traced the aliena-
tion of the provinces which now form the United
States; we must provide some scope for what he calls
‘the importance’ of the leading men in the Colony,
beyond what he forcibly terms the present ‘petty
prizes of the paltry raffle of colonial faction.’ A gene-
ral legislative union would elevate and gratify the
hopes of able and aspiring men; they would no longer-
look with envy and wonder at the great arena of the
bordering federation, but see the means of satisfying
every legitimate ambition in the high offices of the
judicature and executive government of their own
union. Nor would a union of the various provinces
be less advantageous in facilitating a co-operation for
various common purposes, of which the want is now
very seriously felt. There is hardly a department of
the business of government which does not require, or
would not be better performed, by being carried on
under the superintendence of a general government;
but when we consider the political and commercial
interests that are common to these provinces, it ap-
pears difficult to account for their having ever been
divided into separate governments, since they have
all been portions of the same empire, subject to the
same crown, governed by nearly the same laws and
constitutional customs, inhabited, with one exception,
by the same race, contiguous and immediately adja-
cent to each other, and bounded along their whole
frontier by the territories of the same powerful and
rival state. It would appear that every. motive that
has induced the union of various provinces into a
single state exists for the consolidation of these Colo-
nies under a common legislature and executive. They
have the same common relation to the mother coun-
try, the same relation to foreign nations. When one
is' at war, the others are at war; and the hostilities
that are caused by an attack on one must seriously

compromise the welfare of the rest A union for

common defence against foreign enemies is the natural
bond of connection that holds together the great com-
munities of the world; and between no parts of any
kingdom or state is the necessity for such a union
more obvious than between the whole of these colo-
nies.”

His Lordship then remarks that it would be an ad
vantage to have the post office, the disposal of public
lands, the custom house, the currency, and other de-
partments, placed under a common management. Re-
ferring to the proposed formation of a road from Hali-
fax to Quebec, he says :

“ I cannot point out more strikingly the evils of the
present want of a general government for these pro-
vinces, than by adverting to the difficulty which would
practically occur, under the previous and present ar-
rangements of both executive and legislative authori-
ties in the various provinces, in attempting to carry
such a plan into effect. For the various Colonies have
no more means of concerting such common works
with each other, than with the neighboring States of
the Union. They stand to one another in the position

of foreign states, and of foreign states without diplo-
matic relations. The governors may correspond *ith
each other: the legislators may enact laws carrying
the common purposes into effect in their respective
jurisdictions; but there is no means by which the va-
Sous details may speedily and ^satisfactorily be settled
with the concurrence of the different parties.......! he

completion of anv satisfactory communication ^tween

Halifax and Quebec would in fact pr,>( uce r< ati ms
between these provinces that would render a general
union absolutely necessary. Several surv^s have
proved that a railway would be perfectly practicable

the whole way Instead of being shut out from aU

direct intercourse with England during half the >eai,
they would possess afar more certain and spee^ com-
munication throughout the winter than they now
possess in summer. The passage from Ireland to Que-
bec would he a matter of ten or twelve days, and Hal-
ifax would he the great port by which a „ lar ^ i ^ 1 r t S5 1 ° f “
of the trade, and all the conveyance of passengers to
the whole of British North America would be carried
on.”

His Lordship further stated that the late Chief Jus-
tice Sewell had received an autograph letter from the
Queen’s father, approving of a similar plan proposed
by the Chief Justice.

In July 1848, the Earl of Lincoln declared in the
House of Commons it appeared to him “ that this
railroad may not only be made of great importance to
the Colonies, but an object of great national interest,
both in a military, a commercial, and every other point
of view.” And Earl Grey, in a speech in Parliament
said, “ He could not conceive any thing more impor-
tant than the establishment of a communication by
which they might have access from Canada to one of
the nearest colonial ports to this country in all seasons
of the year, and at the same time, of course, equally
easy of access from Halifax to Canada.”

Major Robinson's Survey.— It being proposed to
have a survey made at the joint expense of the three
provinces, it was undertaken by Major Robinson and
Capt. Henderson, R. E., who reported thereon to the
Imperial Government on the 31st August 1848. We
give a few brief extracts :

“The advantage which Halifax and Quebec will
possess over the lines in Massachusetts in respect of

iron alone, may be calculated at £500 per mile The

land for the greater portion will not have to be pur-
chased ; timber and stone will be had nearly along the

whole line for cutting and quarrying The mails,

troops, munitions of war, commissariat supplies, and
all public stores, would naturally pass by it, as the
safest, speediest, and cheapest means of conveyance....
But the great object for the railway to attain, and
which, if it should be able to accomplish, its capability
to pay the interest on the capital expended would be
undoubted, is to supersede the long and dangerous

passage to Quebec by the gulf of the St. Lawrence

Another great effect of tin* railway would be to en-
hance almost immediately the value of all real and
personal property. Villages and towns would no
doubt spring up in its course. The railway would give
them birth, agriculture and external commerce would

support and enrich them In a political and military

point of view, the proposed railway must be regarded
na becoming a work of necessity. The increasing po-
pulation and wealth of the United States, and the dif-
fusion of railways over their territory, especially in
the direction of the Canadian frontier, render it ab-
solutely necessary to counterbalance by some corre-
sponding means, their otherwise preponderating
power ...It is most essential, therefore, that the mo-
ther country should be able to keep up the communi-
cation with the Canadas at all times and all seasons.
Weakness invites aggression, and as the railway would
be a lever of power by which Great Britain could
brills her strength to hear in the contest, it is not im-
probable that its construction would be the means of
preventing a war at some not distant time — The ex-
pense of one year’s war would pay for a railway two

or three times over. And if, for ereat political oN
feet* it over became necessary or advisable to unite ail
the British Provinces under one legislative Govern-
mint, then there will be found, on this side of the At-
lantic, one powerful British State, which, supported
bv the Imperial power of the mother country, may
bid defiance to all the United States of America. The
means to the end, the Bret great step tort* accomplish-
mont, is the construction of the Halifax and Quebeo
Railway.”

From Capt. Henderson’s report, which accompanied
Major Robinson’s, we take the following table of gra.
dients on the whole line from Halifax to Quebec:

Proceedings of the Provincial Legislatures , $c.— In
1849 the Colonies passed Acts for the promotion of the
undertaking. The following is an extract from the
Minutes of the Legislative Council of New Brunswick,
6th January, 1849:

“The Council fully concur with the opinion ex-
pressed by Major Robinson in his very able report,
that while the projected railway will be of great ad-
vantage to Provincial interests, it is at the same time
a work of imperative necessity, in a national point of
view, for the preservation and integrity of this por-
tion of Her Majesty’s dominions. Were the available
resources of the Province equal to our desires for the
permanency of our connection with the empire and
the stability of British institutions on this continent,
we would at once take upon ourselves our proportion
of this good work, asking aid from no quarter. No
question of greater importance to British Colonial in-
terests could be presented for the consideration of the
government; upon it hangs the destiny of these pro-
vinces as portions of this empire; in its favorable ter-
mination we view the only guarantee of colonial unity
and British supremacy in British North America.”

On the 30th May 1849, the Canadian Legislature
passed an Act containing the following clause :

“ And whereas the proposed railway between Hali-
fax and Quebec will be a great national work, bring-
ing together the several portions of the British Em-
hre on the continent of North America, and facilitab
ng the adoption of an extensive, wholesome and
effective system of emigration and colonization; and
it is right that Canada should render such assistance
as her means will admit towards the accomplishment
of a work so important, and promising results so bene-
ficial: Be it therefore enacted, that if Her Majesty's
government shall undertake the construction of the
said railway, either directly or through the instrumen-
tality of a private company, it shall be lawful for the
Governor in Council, on behalf of this Province, to
undertake to pay yearly, in proportion as the work
advances, a sum not. exceeding £20,000 stg., towards
making good the deficiency (if any) in the income from
the railway, to meet the interest of the sum expended
upon it, and to place at the disposal of the Imperial
government, all the ungranted lands within the pro-

miles on each side thereof; aiid to undertake to ob-
tain, pay for, and place at the disposal of the Imperial
government all the land required within the province
for the line of railway, and ior proper stations and ter-
mini.”

The surveys and plans of the contemplated road hav-
ing been submitted to the consideration of the Legis-
lative Council of Nova Scotia, that body framed an
address for presentation to the Queen, from which the
following is an extract :

“The able report of your Majesty’s engineers em-
ployed in this survey, confirms the views entertained
by the Legislative Council, that the accomplishment
of this undertaking will develop the resources of your
Majesty’s noble possessions on this continent, create
new elements of prosperity, promote internal improve-
ment, and become a national and indissoluble bond of

union with the parent state. Impressed with these
sentiments, the Legislature of this Province has passed
a law granting, free of expense, a right of way for the
railroad, together with all public lands for ten "miles on
either side thereof, and charging upon the provincial
and local revenues of Nova Scotia an annual contribu-
tion of £20,000 sterling, towards the payment of the
interest of the sum required to be expended upon the
construction of the work, of which sum a fifth part has
been voluntarily tendered by the citizens of Halifax,
and the whole will be annually paid to such commis-
sioners as your Majesty may be pleased to appoint after
the completion, or satisfactory security for the com-
pletion, of such railway, until the traffic thereon shall

from further contribution The projected railway

will furnish a safe military road through the centre of
British America; open a boundless tract of fertile soil
for colonization ; facilitate the transport of your Ma-
jesty's mails and troops; and will create a new inter-
course with Western America through the lakes of the
St. Lawrence to Halifax, a feat surpassed by none on
the continent of America."

The report of the Select Committee of the New
Brunswick Legislative Assembly contained the follow-
ing strong expression :

“ We think the plain, broad question on this subject
is, do the people of England wish to retain the North
American Colonies or not? If they do, the Trunk
Railway is indispensable, and should be completed at
any cost."

Negotiation with the Imperial Government .— The ex-
tracts we have given above are sufficient to show the
favorable opinion of the project entertained by the
Colonial legislatures. We proceed to review some
of the correspondence on the subject. On the 25th No-
vember 1850, Hon. Josejih Howe (who was selected by
the Government of Nova Scotia to impress the import-
ance of the Quebec and Halifax Railway upon the Im-
perial Government), in a letter to Earl Grey, repre-
sented that the route would save, in the communication
between Europe and America, fifty-six hours to every
individual in all time to come, who passed between the
two continents ; the sea risks to life and property being
diminished by one-third of the whole.

"The British Government," continued the writer,
“now pay for the conveyance of the North American
mails between England and New York, £145,000 stg.
per annum. By this arrangement 1,107 miles of sea
are traversed more than are necessary. The corres-

ondence of all Europe with all America is delayed

fty-six hours beyond the time which will be actually
required for its conveyance when the railroads across
Ireland and Nova Scotia are completed. One set of
these British mail steamers pass by our Provinces, and
to the mortification of their inhabitants, carry their let-
ters, and even the public despatches of their government
to the United States, to be sent back some 800 miles, if
they came by land; at least 500 if sent by sea. While
the nearest land to Europe is British territory — while
a harbour, almost matchless for security and capacity,
invites Englishmen to build up within the empire a fit-
ting rival to the great commercial cities which are
rising beyond it, your Lordship will readily compre-
hend the depth and earnestness of our impatience to
be rescued from a position which wounds our pride
as British subjects, and is calculated rapidly to gener-
ate the belief, that the commanding position of our
country is either not understood, or our interests but
lightly valued."

On the 10th March, 1851, a letter was addressed to
the Hon. Jos. Howe, communicating the decision of
Her Majesty's Government on the application for as-
sistance. The following is an abstract. The Govern-
ment of Nova Scotia had desired that the payment of
the interest of a loan of £800,000, the estimated ex-
pense of constructing that part of the line which would
pas* through that Province, should be guaranteed by

the Imperial Parliament, the effect of which would be
that the money might be raised on terms much more
favorable than would be otherwise required by the
lenders. Her Majesty’s Government were prepared to
recommend to Parliament that this guarantee should
be granted on the following conditions : 1st. The work
was not to be commenced, nor any part of the loan
to be raised, until arrangements were made with the
Provinces of Canada and New Brunswick, by which
the construction of a line of railway passing wholly
through British territory, from Halifax to Quebec or
Montreal, should be provided for to the satisfaction of
Her Majesty’s Government. 2nd. It was to be clearly
understood that the whole cost of the line was to be
provided for by loans raised by the Provinces, in such
proportions as might be agreed upon, with the guar-
antee of the Imperial Parliament. 3rd. The manner
in which the profits to be derived from the railway,
when completed, were to be divided between the Pro-
vinces, would also remain for future consideration.
4th. It would further be required that the several Pro-
vincial legislatures should pass laws, making the loans
which they were to raise a first charge upon the pro-
vincial revenues, after any existing debts and pay-
ments on account of the civil lists settled on Her Ma-
jesty by laws then in force; and also, that permanent
taxes should be imposed (or taxes to continue in force
till the debt should be extinguished), sufficient to pro-
vide for the payment of the interest and sinking fund
of the loans proposed to be raised after discharging
the above prior claims. 5th. The expenditure of the
money raised under the guarantee of the Imperial Par-
liament, was to take place under the superintendence
of commissioners appointed by Her Majesty’s Govern
ment, and armed with sufficient power to secure the
due application of the funds so raised to their intended
object. 6th. The right of sending troops, stores, and
mails along the line, at reasonable rates, was likewise
to be secured.

Alluding to the above letter, in a despatch dated 14th
March, 1851, addressed to the Earl of Elgin, Earl Grey
wrote as follows :

" In coming to the decision that Parliament should
be invited to give this support to the projected railway,
Her Majesty’s Government have not failed to bear in
mind that, by enabling the North American Provinces
to open this great line of communication, it may fairly
be assumed that a powerful stimulus will be given to
their advance in wealth and population; and that the
consequent increase in their resources will render it
possible for them to relieve the mother country sooner,
and more completely, than would otherwise be practi-
cable, from charges now borne by it on account of
these Colonies. In another despatch of this date I
have informed your lordship that, in the judgment of
Her Majesty’s Government, the British Colonies ought
to be required, as they become capable of doing so, to
take upon themselves not only the expenses of their
civil government, but a portion, at all events, of those
incurred for their protection ; and I have pointed out
to vou that the British North American Provinces,
and especially Canada, have now reached such a stage
in their progress, that the charges for which Parlia-
ment is called upon to provide on their account, ought
to be rapidly diminished. The construction of the
proposed railway would greatly contribute to promote

this important object Though I can well believe

that there would be much room for doubting whether
the railway would pay as a mercantile speculation to
a company looking to traffic only for its remunera-
tion, the case is very different when it is regarded as a
public undertaking. When viewed in this light, the
various indirect advantages, which cannot fail to arise

of communication, must be a* we iferred

vorv irroat additional value winch would be conieruu
on a vasf extent of public lands which are now com-
paratively worthless."

On the 31st March, 1852, the Hon. F. Hincks wTote
to the Right Hon. Sir John Fakington, asking Impe-
rial assistance for the construction of the railway to
run by the valley of the St. John river, instead of by
the Bay of Clialeurs. To this Sir John Fakington re-
plied, on the 20th May, that on reference to the corre-
spondence which had already taken place, it would
appear evident that no pledge had been given of assist-
ance to any line, except that originally proposed.
From this time the question of Imperial assistance re-
mained in abeyance until the summer of 1857, when
the three Frovinces again united, and sent delegates
to England to confer with the Imperial Government.
The Hon. J. A. Macdonald and Hon. Mr. Rose were
the Canadian delegates. At the time of their arrival
in England, however, the attention of the Imperial
Government was occupied with the events transpiring
in India, and the delegates returned without any im-
mediate conclusion being come to on the propositions
of either Canada or Nova Scotia. Before returning,
the Canadian delegates embodied their views in a mem-
orandum, which they laid before the Colonial Secre-
tary. From this document we make a few extracts :

“In 1838 and 1839, when Canada was invaded by or-
ganized parties of marauders Irom the neighboimg
country, with the avowed intention of conquest, troops
were transported by that route (from Halifax to Que-
bec) in winter, when the St. Lawrence was closed, with
much ditliculty, at an enormous expense, ancl with
great suffering to the soldiery ; and the impossibility ol
carrying military stores in sufficient quantities was then
also fully proved. Several explorations were conse-
quently made by the military authorities, with a view
to the construction of a military road, as part of the
system of defence of the British North American Col-
onies. It was then suggested that a railway, besides
being of more utility for this purpose than an ordinary
road; would be of great, commercial benefit to those
Frovinces, and at the same time confer the political
advantage of connecting them more intimately with
the mother country and with each other. As this
scheme would cost much more than the road originally
intended, and as the Colonies would be so much more
benefited thereby, it was thought right that they
should contribute to the expense of construction. A
survey was accordingly made in the year 1848, by Ma-
jor Robinson and other officers selected by the Impe-
rial Government, but at the expense of the Colonies.
Misapprehension arose between Lord Grey and Mr.
Howe, of Nova Scotia, then conducting the negotia-
tion, as to whether, in case Major Robinson’s line were
adopted, the imperial guarantee would not also be ex-
tended to a lateral railway running from the main line
through NewBrunswick, westward to the frontier of the
United States. This sideline, if constructed, would have
much improved the commercial character of Major
Robinson’s line, as it would have formed a valuable
feeder, and connected it with the general railway sys-
tem of the United States. Acting, therefore, under
the belief that the guarantee was to be so extended,
the three Frovinces of Canada, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia, made an agreement to construct the rail-
way from Halifax to Quebec in equal proportions, and

S roceeded to legislate upon it with a view to the imme-
iate execution of the work. On its being ascertained
that it had not been intended by the British Govern-
ment to grant the guarantee to the local line above re-
ferred to, all the objections to Major Robinson’s route
revived, and the arrangements between the Frovinces
fell to the ground. Anxiously desiring the construction
of the railway, the Provinces, although much disap-
pointed at the frustration of their expectations, entered
into a new arrangement. They agreed, if the railway
was built along the valley of the river St. John, Nova

disapproval o? the proposed deviation from the Eastern
line and that he therefore did not feel warranted ra

recommending the guarantee to Parliament. /J
negotiations thus fell a second time to the ground.’
The memorandum went on to state that the Fro-
vinces had been compelled, owing to the failure of
these negotiations, to undertake various local rail-
ways on their own responsibility. They had not
thought proper to press the subject again during the
Russian war, but as peace had been restored, it would
seem that no time should be lost in undertaking the
work. While Imperial interests required the road as
much as ever, the position of Canada had materially
altered. Since 1852, ten lines of railway, extending over
about 1,600 miles, had been constructed, at an aggregate
cost of about £19,000,000 stg., by private companies,
chartered and aided by money grants from the Provin-

cial Government, to the extent of nearly five millions
and a half. Preparations were also in progress for the
construction of an interior line of communication, far
removed from the American frontier, by a combined
system of railway and canal between the river Ottawa
and Lake Huron. Canada bad, therefore, already as-
sumed the full measure of pecuniary obligation which
her resources rendered prudent; but as access to the
ocean, and communication with England, could only
be had in winter through the United States, so for as

Imperial interests were concerned, the railway facili-
ties were in a great measure incomplete. So far as the
commercial wants of Canada were concerned, they
were amply supplied by the existing railway commu-
nications to the American seaports, New York and
Boston, and by the railway from Montreal to Port-
land; but this entire dependence on, and exclusive re-
lations with a foreign country, could not but exercise
an unwholesome influence on the status of Canada as
a portion of the empire, and tend to establish elsewhere
that identity of interest which ought to exist between
the mother country and the colony. In case of a rup-
ture with the United States, during five months of the
year reinlorcements could not be obtained by sea. On
the other hand, seven American railways terminated
directly at the Canadian boundary, by means of w hich
the United States could concentrate all their forces
upon any particular point with the utmost expedition.
In conclusion, the following mode, by which the road

might be constructed, was suggested :

“The question of route is one which, so far as Can-
ada is concerned, might be left to the Imperial Gov'ern-
ment and the Lower Frovinces; but the length of
that which would probably be chosen may be assumed
at 600 miles. By Major Robinson's report, the cost of
the longest or coast route of 635 miles, is £7,000 stg.
per mile, to which ten per cent, is added for con *j^"
gencies, making the cost, in round numbers, £5,000,000.
Now Canada has already built, or has in progress,
110, and Nova Scotia 60 miles, available for any route
selected for the intercolonial road, leaving 420 to be
constructed. Allowing one million stg. to be added to
Major Robinson’s estimate for the rise in the cost of
labor and materials since 1848, the balance to be pro-
vided for is £5,000,000. This would include the cost of
the whole section apportioned to and now in process

of construction by Nova Scotia, but does not include
the cost of the 110 miles in Canada, on which a million,
raised from other sources, will be expended.”

Resolutions were adopted by both branches of the
Canadian legislature on the 16th August 1858, approv-
ing of this memorandum of the Canadian delegates.

At a meeting held at London, England, on the 5th
June 1858, presided over by Lord Bury, resolutions
were adopted setting forth the importance of the road
in a national point of view, and recommending that
measures should be adopted to carry out the views ex-
pressed by the Imperial and Colonial governments. It
was further resolved that it was “ advisable that ap-
plication be forthwith made to Her Majesty’s govern-
ment upon the subject of the proposed railway from
Halifax to Quebec, with a view to ascertain what en-
couragement and assistance they are prepared to afford
to the promoters of the undertaking.” The deputation
appointed to wait upon the Colonial Secretary consist-
ed of the following noblemen and gentlemen : — Vis-
count Bury, M.P., Chairman ; Viscount Goderich,
M.P., Sir Allan N. MacNab, Hon. John Vivian, M.P.,
Hon. C. W. W. Fitz william, M.P., Hon. S. Cunard,
Messrs. Glyn, M.P., Roebuck, M.P., Neeld, M.P.,
Nisbet, M.P., Col. Boidero, M.P., Right Hon. S. Est-
court, M.P., Hon. F. Berkeley, M.P., Hon. Justice
Haliburton, Messrs. Langton, M.P., Christy, M.P.,
Wyld, M.P., Collins, M.P., Nelson, Brotherhood, Mas-
terman, Stevens, and Sewell. Among the reasons
urged by speakers at the meeting, in favor of the road,
were the following: lion. John Vivian, M.P., com-
mented upon the difficulty of sending troops to Cana-
da in the winter, recalling the toilsome march of the
43rd, which was ordered from New Brunswick to re-
inforce Lord Gosford, Governor General of Canada,
during the Canadian rebellion. The Hon. Samuel
Cunard stated that during 20 years his steamers had
never once been shut out of Halifax, whereas they had
many times been kept out of Boston. The Hon. Jus-
tice Haliburton called attention to our total depend-
ence upon the United States for the transmission of
the English mails to Canada. He said British America
was the only British possession where the climate
suited European constitutions. The undertaking had
now become much easier, as the distance had been
lessened at both ends by the lines constructed by Can-
ada and Nova Seotia.

The deputation waited upon Sir E. BuUver Lytton,
Colonial Secretary, on theI4th June 1858, and request-
ed that the Imperial government should guarantee
them the sum of £60,000 a year^ which, together witli
the £60,000 voted by the legislatures of Canada, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, would form a guarantee
equal to 4 per cent, on the estimated amount of the
capital to be expended— £3,000,000 stg., deducting the
cost of that portion at the extremities of the route al-
ready constructed. It was represented that the harbor
of Halifax was the only harbor, even so far south as
New York, which was never closed by ice. The dis-
tance from Halifax to Boston was 400 mile9, so that
by landing at Halifax, and proceeding upon British
territory, those 400 miles by sea would be saved. The
Hon. Justice Haliburton argued that the produce from
the West must come by this railway to Halifax, the
nearest port on the Atlantic between England and
America. Only this link was wanting to complete the

communication the whole way from Halifax to the
head of Lake Superior, and thence to Vancouver’s Is-
land through open country. If this railway were com-
pleted, troops need not be kept in Canada, as they
could be sent to any point in the province from Eng-
land in 11 days.

Sir E. Bulwcr Lytton said the project had received
his most favorable attention. In its political aspect
he thought it was a great national road, and highly
advantageous to Imperial interests. But as a finan-
cial question, it pertained to the department of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom he recom-
mended the deputation to apply. The same gentle-
men accordingly waited upon the Chancellor of the
Exchequer on the following day, making similar repre-
sentations, and also pointing out that as the British
government was paying nearly £30,000 a year for
the conveyance of the mails to the United States
(which the projected Railway Company would carry
free of charge), this sum should be set off from the
£60,000 asked for, so that the remaining portion would
be only £30,000, against which might be set the con-
veyance of troops and stores, and the national impor-
tance of the undertaking. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer dismissed the deputation with the assurance
that he would give the undertaking an early and at-
tentive consideration.

Since that time five years have elapsed, and the pro-
ject remains unaccomplished.

In 1861, the Colonies again pressed upon the Impe-
rial government the advantages and necessity of con-
structing the railway. Their delegates urged that
"without that road the Provinces are dislocated, and
almost incapable of defence for a great portion of the
year, except at such a sacrifice of life and property,
and such an enormous cost to the mother country, as
makes the small contribution which she is asked to
give towards its construction, sink into insignificance.
With that railroad we can concentrate our forces on
the menaced points of the frontier; guard the citadels
and works which have been erected by Great Britain
at vast expense, cover our cities from surprise, and
hold our own till reinforcements can be sent across th©
sea.”

In the speech of the Governor General, at the open-
ing of the Session of the Canadian Legislature in
March 1802, it was stated : “ During the past recess a
conference took place between the delegates represent-
ing the government of this province and those of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, to consider the propriety
of renewing the application to the Imperial govern-
ment for assistance in constructing the railway which
will unite the three provinces. A joint delegation pro-
ceeded to England for the purpose of re-opening ne-
gotiations with Her Majesty’s government. No an-
swer has as yet been received.”

Hon. Mr. Sieotte asked for ministerial explanations
as to the negotiations carried on in reference to this sub-
ject. Hon. Att’y Gen. Cartier said the renewed nego-
tiations had for a basis the same principles as those
on which they were conducted when the Hon. Mr.
Sieotte was a member of the government, viz: that
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Canada should con-
tribute each £20,000 a year, and the Imperial Govern-
ment should give the remainder. Hon. J. S. Macdon-
ald was in l'avor of having a line connecting us with

the ocean, and would regret that the negotiations in-
tended to secure its being built should prove futile.
The paragraph was carried by 99 to 15.

We pass on to review the negotiations above referred
to, which took place in 18G1-2-3. The documents were
laid before the Canadian Parliament in February 1863.
There is first a letter from the Hon. Messrs. Sicotte
and Howland, dated Quebec, Feb. 27 1863, addressed
to the Provincial Secretary of Canada, in which they
state that by order in Council, of the 22nd Oct. 1862,
they were deputed to England to confer with the Im-
perial Government upon the matters described in that
order. Immediately on their arrival in London, acting
in conjunction with the delegates of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, they put themselves in communica-
tion with the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State
for the Colonies. After several interviews with His
Grace and the Officers of the Treasury, the Canadian
delegates submitted, on the 2nd December, to the Colo-
nial Secretary, a paper signed by all the delegates,
being their joint proposal as to the terms and conditions
upon which the guarantee offered by the Imperial Gov-
ernment would be most acceptable and least onerous
to the Colonies. Messrs. Howland and Sicotte had all
along stated their decided objection to a sinking fund,
which had been admitted as just by the Colonial Ofiice,
and the simple engagement of the Provinces to repay
the loan at the periods agreed upon, had been acknow-
ledged as sufficient security for the Imperial Govern-
ment. The only difference between this joint Colonial
proposal and the one submitted and signed by the
Canadian delegates was as to the intervals of payment,
which were in the first proposal, 20, 30 and 40 years,
and as to the net profits of the road being applied in
extinction of the principal. On the reception of the
joint Colonial proposal it was found that the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer strongly objected to the terms
of payment, and to the absence of a sinking fund. As
the Duke of Newcastle, on account of his health, had
to leave London till “ probably the middle of Jan-
uary,” he advised the Canadian delegates to see the
Chancellor and endeavour to overcome the difficulties
which had thus arisen. An interview was accordingly
had, the extent of the sinking fund discussed, and the
objection to it explained and urged by Mr. Sicotte,
who attended at this interview ; Mr. Howland being
absent through illness. The loan was represented by
Mr. Sicotte as a loan to promote and protect Imperial
interests as well as Colonial, and it was hoped that
steps would be taken, as had been done in some other
instances, for granting this loan, not of money, but of
a simple guarantee, without the embarrassments and
losses of a sinking fund, whether in the old form or in
the new one proposed by Mr. Tilley. The Chancellor
promised to consider these views, and give the dele-
gates an early reply. The Imperial answer and condi-
tions proposed, were communicated to them on the 13th
Dec., during their temporary absence from London.
The Hon. Mr. Tilley left London on the 13th, and in a
letter of that date expressed his hope that the Chancel-
lor would be induced to reconsider tin? matter of the
sinking fund, and trusted that the Colonies would be
enabled to convince the Imperial Parliament that under
all the circumstances of this peculiar case, a sinking
fund should not be insisted upon. The Hon. Mr.
Howe, in a letter of the 19th Dec., declared that he

concurred in all that Mr. Tilley had said, or that
Messrs Sicotte and Howland could say on the subject
of the sinking fund, and hoped that parliament would
be induced to rely upon the honor and ample resources
of the Provinces for the prompt payment of the in-
stalments as they became due. These passages were par-
ticularly dwelt upon, as showing how all the Colonies
were agreed in the condemnation of the sinking fund.
The inconvenience, the trouble, the inevitable loss of a
sinking fund, were fully discussed at the conference
held in Quebec in September last, and all present
agreed in their disapprobation <..f such an arrangement.

On the return of the delegates to London, the whole
subject was thoroughly discus-ed with Mr. Howe, and
the Canadian delegates informed him that they would
submit their formerly expressed views in writing
to the Colonial Secretary before leaving London, which
was accordingly done in their memorial of the 23rd
December.

The negotiations were opened in 1861, as appears
by the following despatch from the Duke of Newcastle
to Lord Monck, dated 12th April, 1862.

“ You are aware that I duly received your despatch
of the 31st Oct. last, reporting that at a meeting in the
Council Chamber at Quebec, of members cf the Coun-
cils of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, it
was resolved that those three Governments should
renew the offer made to the Imperial Government on
the 26tli October 1858, to aid in the construction of an
Intercolonial Railway between Halifax and Quebec,
and that a delegation from the Provinces sln uld pro-
ceed to England with the view of promoting this object.
You reported to me that Hon. P. Vankoughnet was
appointed to represent Canada, and not long after-
wards this gentleman, associated with Hon. Joseph
Howe from Nova Scotia, and Hon. S. Tilley from New
Brunswick, arrived in England. I had several inter-
views with these gentlemen, who urged with great
ability the project committed to their charge, and
eventually embodied their views in a memorandum
communicated to me in a letter dated Dec. 2, 1861; but
owing to the urgency of business connected with the
threatening aspect of affairs in the United States, I was
unable to bring the subject under the consideration of
Her Majesty’s Government before the deputies were
obliged to return to their homes, and other urgent
matters have hitherto prevented the adoption of a
decision. The subject has now been before ller Majesty’s
Government, and 1 need scarcelv assure you that they
have examined it with the care due to the importance
of tin? question, to the high authorities from whom it
has. emanated in the Province, and the character and
position of the delegates by whom it has been so power-
fully presented to notice in this country.

The length of railway necessary to complete the com-
munication between Halifax and Quebec is estimated
at 350 miles, and the cost, after deducting the right
of way which the Provinces will provide, is estimated
at .£3,000,000 Stg. Such being the data supplied by
the deputation, the project is that the Imperial Govern-
ment should join the three Provinces in a guarantee of
4 Tier cent, upon £3,000,000. in which case the Provinces
are ready to pass bills of supply for £60,000 a year
(£20,000 in each Province) if the Imperial Government
will do the same. The selection of the route is left
solely to the British Government. Should the sum of
three millions be found insufficient, nothing very de-
finite is said on the essential point of the provision to
be made for the completion of the railway. I much
regret to inform you that, after giving thesubjeot their
best consideration, Her Majesty’s Government have
not felt themselves at liberty to concur in this mode of
assistance. Anxious, however, to promote, as far as
they can, the important object of completing the
great line of railway communication on British
ground between the Atlantic and the westernmost
parts of C anada, and to assist the Provinces in a
scheme which would so materially promote their inter-
ests, Her Majesty's Government are willing to offer to
the Provincial Governments an Imperial guarantee of

interest towards enabling them to raise by public loan,
if they should desire it, at a moderate rate, the requi-
site funds for constructing the railway. This was the
mode of action contemplated by Earl Grey in the year
1851, and is the same method which was adopted by
Parliament in the Act of 1842, in order to afford to
Canada the benefit of British credit in raising the
money with which she has completed her great system
of internal water communications. The nature and
extent of the guarantee which Her Majesty’s Govern-
ment could undertake to recommend to Parliament
must be determined by the particulars of any scheme
which the Provincial Governments may be disposed
to found on the present proposal, and on the kind
of security which they would offer. I fear that this
course will not be so acceptable to the Provincial
Government as that which the delegates were au-
thorized to propose for consideration. Jt is, however,
the only one in which Her Majesty’s Government,
after anxious deliberation, feel that they would be at
liberty to participate. I trust that the proposal will at
all events be received as a proof of their earnest wish to
find some method in which they can co-operate with
the Provinces in their laudable desire to complete a
perfect intercolonial communication over British terri-
tory, and it will be a source of sincere pleasure to me if,
adverting to all the different hearings of the subject, and
the condition of their respective finances, the Provincial
Governments should end by finding it in their power
to make use of the present offer, and to propound some

S racti cable scheme for applying it to the attainment of
tie desired object. I have addressed a similar dis-
patch to the Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia and
and New Brunswick, and I must now leave the subject
in the hands of the several Provincial Governments,
who will best know, in case they prosecute the subject
farther, how to provide for the requisite mutual con-
sultations.”

This was followed by a despatch from Earl Mulgrave
to Lord Monck, dated Halifax, May 3, 1862, enclosing
a copy of a resolution which was passed by the Nova
Scotian House of Assembly, by which the Govern-
ment of that Province were authorized to arrange, by
negotiation with the neighboring colonies, a reciprocal
interchange of manufactures, duty free, if it should
appear upon inquiry that it could be accomplished
without serious loss of revenue.

On the 15th Aug., 1862, Lord Monck wrote to the
Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick, stating that it was very desirable, in order to
return a satisfactory answer to the despatch of the
Duke of Newcastle inserted above, that the three Pro-
vinces interested should come to a distinct under-
standing as to the part which each of them would
undertake in reference to the execution of the proposed
work. His Lordship mentioned the expected visit of
Earl Mulgrave and the Lieutenant Governor of New
Brunswick to Canada, as a suitable time to hold a con-
ference, members of the respective administrations
assisting, and thfe 10th of September was named for
that purpose.

The official return then gives the report of the Com-
mittee of the Executive Council of Canada, approved by
the Gov. General in Council, on the 10th Sept. 1862. In
this it is stated that their attentive consideration, had
been given to a report of the Minister of Finance, on
the despatch from the Lieut. Governor of Nova Scotia,
enclosing a copy of a resolution of the Legislative As-
sembly, empowering the government of that, colony to
arrange, by negotiation with the neighboring pro-
vinces, a reciprocal interchange of manufactures, duty
free, and suggesting that delegates from the provinces
should meet to consider it. The Minister of Finance
submitted a series of tables, exhibiting the export and
import trade with the Lower Provinces, the nature of

the imports from the United States for each colony,
the tariffs of the several colonies, &c., and expressed
his opinion in favor of entering into negotiations, hav-
ing in view the greater freedom of intercourse between
the colouies; ami he recommended that a proposal be
made for the reciprocal free admission of all articles,
the growth, produce, and manufacture of Canada, No-
va Scotia, and any other province becoming a party to
the agreement that may be founded on this proposal.
He further submitted that the meeting of delegates
from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to be held at
Quebec, to consider the question of the Intercolonial
Railway, would be a favorable opportunity to consider
also the question of intercolonial trade. The commit-
tee of the Executive Council concurred in opinion with
the Finance Minister, and submitted his suggestions
for his Excellency’s approval.

Intercolonial Reciprocity .—The report of the Cana-
dian Finance Minister above referred to, is on the sub-
ject of trade between the colonies. But as this ques-
tion was considered together with the railway, the
report and annexed tables are introduced here.

Report to the Executive Council on the subject qf Inter-
colonial Reciprocity.

Quebec, 8th September, 1862.

In reference to the despatch from the Lieutenant
Governor of Nova Scotia to his Excellency the Gover-
nor General, which contains a copy of a resolution of
the House of Assembly of Nova Scotia, empowering
the Government of that Colony to arrange by negotia-
tion with the neighbouring Provinces a reciprocal
interchange of manufactures, duty tree — invites a pro-
posal on the subject from Canada, and suggests that
delegates from the Provinces should meet to consider
it— the Minister of Finance has the honor to report :
Intercolonial reciprocity commanded the attention
of both the Imperial and the Canadian Governments
in I860. In tli at year the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade expressed an opinion some-
what adverse to it. The Finance Minister of Canada,
however, stated the views of our Government in reply,
and as no answer to his arguments waa ever made,* it is
to be hoped the Imperial authorities were thereby con-
vinced that the project is not of the character they
feared, and that no opposition need lie anticipated to
any measure having for its object the enlargement of
Free Trade between the neighbouring dependencies of
the Empire. Reciprocal freedom from intercolonial
duties on a variety of articles already exists between
the British North American Colonies, and future en-
actments can but extend a principle already sanction-
ed.

For the purpose of properly considering the subject
of intercolonial trade, the undersigned has caused
several tables to be prepared which are hereto append-
ed. They contain statistical information to the latest
available' dates. , T TT

The first series of statements numbered I, II, and 111,
compiled from our own Trade and Navigation Returns,
exhibits the extent of our import and export trade
with our sister Colonies for the past four years. It
seems small compared with our total commerce; but
it is nevertheless worthy of consideration, and as faci-
lities for communication with them extend, and their
population increases, it will undoubtedly grow iu im-
portance. „ ,

j^est, however, the small extent of our trade with
these Provinces should give rise to erroneous ideas as
to their commercial activity, attention is directed to
the Table No. IV., which, with the following, is made
ui> from their official statements, and shows that, m
proportion to their population, the imports and ex-
ports of each— excepting Prince Edward Island—
exceed those of Canada ; if, as the undersigned be-
lieves, this is due to the fact that their agricultural re-

despatch came to the knowledge of the Finance Min-
ister, in which the principle is fully conceded.

sources and manufacturing capital are both
limited than ours, it furnishes a reason why, with
increasing means of intercourse, their trade witn us
may be expected likewise to increase.

Table V. exhibits in contrast the Tariffs of the seve-
ral Provinces. The articles selected for comparison are
those on which we collected duty to the extent ot
810,000 on the total imports of the year 1861, and as
these comprised 91* per cent, of the whole the rest
may be left out of consideration. Ihe following
articles, viz: Brandy, Coffee, dried fruits, gin, mo-
lasses, rum, soap, sugar, tea, tobacco and wine, are
charged with specific duties in some of the Colonies,
and these have been reduced to their ad valorem
equivalents on the basis of value supplied by our own
Trade and Navigation Tables.

With a more extended trade between Canada and
the Lower Provinces, we should compete in their
markets, not with the productions of Great Bintain, , but
with those of the United States. Tables VI, VII, ^ III,
and IX, show the exact nature of the imports from the
United States for each colony, and table X gives the
aggregate. An examination of these statements
plainly shows that a large proportion of the goods
which the maritime provinces now buy in the States
could be supplied by Canada. They consist mainly of
agricultural produce, in raising which we excel, and
of articles the manufacture of which is rapidly increas-
ing here. It would also be manifestly advantageous
to all the Provinces, if colonial merchants and for-
warders could secure a share of the business which is
now almost exclusively confined to the Americans.

In view of all these facts and considerations, it
appears desirable to enter into negotiations having in
view the establishment of greater freedom of inter-
course between the Colonies. If a complete Customs
union could be formed between the Provinces, under
which they could interchange without restriction all
goods, the produce and manufacture of whatever

country, it would have a beneficial effect. But as, to
carry such a union conveniently into effect, greater
uniformity in the tariffs of the several colonies must be
secured, which would be almost impracticable under
their present political condition, the undersigned con-
tents himself for the present with recommending,
that in answer to the despatch of the Nova Scotian
Government, a proposal be made for the reciprocal
free admission of all articles, the growth, produce and
manufacture of Nova Scotia and any other Province
becoming a party to the agreement that may be founded
on this proposal.

If such an arrangement can be effected, it will
undoubtedly increase intercolonial trade, and open
the way for the establishment of more intimate political
relations bet ween these important dependencies of the
British Crown. The chief difficulty in bringing it
about will probably be found in tine indisposition of
all the Provinces to sacrifice revenue. It is not to be
expected that a large trade will spring up ah at once;
it will take years for its development., and ample
time will be afforded to supply from other sources any
deficiency which may thus arise. That the present
sacrifice would be insignificant, will be seen by tables
XI, XII, XIII, and XIV. Regulations wouldof course
be framed for the protection of the revenue of each
colony, to prevent the free admission of other goods
than those ooming within the scope of the conven-
tion.

Referring to the proposal of the Lieut. Governor of
Nova Sootia that a delegation should meet to consider
tliis subject, either in Halifax or New Brunswick, the
undersigned submits that the meeting of delegates
from Nova Sootia and New Brunswick, about to be
held here, to consider the question of an Intercolonial
Railway, would be a favorable opportunity to consider
also the question of Intercolonial Trade.

The whole nevertheless submitted for the considera-
tion of the lion, the Executive Council,

The subject was deferred, as appears from the follow-
ing memorandum, signed by Mr. J. S. Macdonald, for
Canada, and Messrs. Joseph Howe and S. L. Tilley,
for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick :

“The delegates from Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick, and the Government of Canada, having under
consideration the report of the Hon. I< inance Minister
of Canada, of the 8th of September inst., on the sub-
ject of Intercolonial Reciprocity, agree— 1st. that the
free interchange of goods, the growth, produce, and
manufacture of the provinces, and uniformity ot tariff,
are considered to be an indispensable consequence
of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway.
2nd. But that in consequence of the recent diminution
of the revenues of the respective provinces, arising out
of the war in the neighboring Republic, and the
increased liabilities incurred by the additional obliga-
tions necessary to the construction of the proposed
road, the delegates from Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick regret that they are not at this moment in a
position to adopt measures to carry this important
principle into practical effect."

Continuation of the negotiation s respecting the In -
tercolonial Railway .—On the 12th Sept. 1862, Lord
Monck wrote to the Duke of Newcastle, stating that it

was intended that a deputation of his Executive Coun-
cil should proceed to England in the course of the au-
tumn, in order to give further facilities, by means of
personal communication, for completing the arrange-
ments proposed. His lordship enclosed an approved
minute of his Executive Council on the subject of the

railway, which was as follows :

“The Committee of Council have given their earnest
consideration to the annexed memorandum of agree-
ment, adopted at a meeting of the delegates from the
provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and
your Excellency’s advisers in this province, on the
subject of the construction of an Intercolonial Railway,
and they humbly advise that the same be approved by
your Excellency."

The memorandum was as follows :

“The undersigned, representing the three govern-
ments of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick,
convened to consider the despatch of His Grace} the
Duke of Newcastle, of the 12th April 1862, with refer-
ence to the Intercolonial Railway, having given the
very important matter contained in that despatch their
attentive consideration, are agreed— 1st. That while

tlioy have

Cnctfon tire proposals made on belialf of these pro-
vtncea°in December 1861. and at previous periods, they
a the Vame time acknowledge the consideration ex-
hibited in substituting the proposal of an Imperial
I) ...ran too of interest, towards enabling them to raise
bv nM l c loan if they should desire it, at a moderate

rife ti e requisite funds for constructing the railway.
2nd That with an anxious desire to bind the provinces
more closely together, to strengthen their connection
with the mother country, to promote their common
commercial interests, and to provide facilities essen-
t a l to the public defences of these provinces, as into-
gn 1 parts of the empire, the undersigned are prepared
to assume, under the imperial guarantee, the liability
f r the expenditure necessary to construct this great
work 3rd. That the three governments are agreed
that the proportions of liability for the necessary ex-
penditure shall be apportioned as follows, viz: five-
twelfths for Canada, and seven twelfths to be equally
divided between the provinces of ^ew Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. 4th. But it is understood that the liabil-
ity for principal and interest shall be borne by each
province to the extent only of the proportions hereby
agreed upon. 5th. That in arriving at this conclusion,
the undersigned have been greatly influenced by the
conviction that the construction of the road between
Halifax and Quebec must supply an essential link in
the chain of an unbroken highway, extending through
British territory from the Atlantic to the 1 acilic, in
the completion of which every Imperial interest in
North America is most deeply involved; ana the un-
designed are agreed that to present properly this part
of the subject to the Imperial authorities, the three 1 ro-
vinces will unite at an early day in a joint, representa-
tion on the immense political and commercial import-
ance of the western extension of the projected work.

Signed by Messrs. J. S. Macdonald, L. V Sicotte, J.
Morns, Wm. McDougall, Wm. P. Howland, U. J.
Tessier, F. Evanturel, and T. D’Arcy McGee, repr^
senting Canada; Joseph Howe, Wm. Annaud, and
Joseph McCully, representing Nova Scotia; S. L. lil-
ley, 1\ Mitchell, and William H. Steeves, representing

V a linmcwi/'lf

A further memorandum was also agreed to at the
conference of the delegates, that if it should be con-
cluded that the work should be constructed and man-
aged by a joint commission of the three Provinces,
Canada was to appoint two commissioners, and the
other Provinces one each ; the four to select a tilth , and
that a joint delegation should proceed to England to
arrange the terms of the loans, &c., with the Imperial
Government.

The Hon. L. Y. Sicotte and Hon. William P. How-
land were accordingly appointed delegates, and were
charged to urge upon the Imperial Government that
the contribution which Canada might make to the In-
tercolonial Railway should be regarded as an expendi-
ture for defensive purposes. They were further in-
structed to represent that the realization of the hopes
entertained in relation to the opening up of the North-
west, was essential to render the construction of the
railway acceptable to the Province of Canada.

The Duke of Newcastle, alluding to these points, in
a despatch to Lord Monck, dated 29th November 1862,
said that at the first interview with Messrs. Sicotte and
Howland, he found it necessary to point out to them
that the project of the railway originated with Cana-
da and the Lower Provinces of British North America,
and not with Her Majesty’s Government ; and that he
could enter into no understanding that any payment
for the railway should thereafter bo taken into account
as a colonial contribution for defensive purposes. His
Lordship further informed these gentlemen, with refer-
ence to communication with tho North-west oountry,
that though he had for some time been, and still was,

INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY,

earnestly endeavoring to establish a communication
with and through that territory, no such definite re-
sults had yet been obtained as could enable him at pre-
sent to enter into any arrangements with Canada for
that object.

We now come to the memorial, dated London, 23rd
Dec. 1862, addressed by Messrs. Howland and Sicotte
to the Duke of Newcastle, after they had failed to
come to terms. In this document the Canadian dele-
gates appear to think that Canada would suffer an in-
dignity by being obliged to show herself capable of
discharging the liability she was about to incur, before
the guarantee should be granted. The memorial
began with a review of the opinions expressed by pub-
lic men, and of the views entertained by the different
Governments of Great Britain and of the Colonies
since 1839. The memorandum then proceeded as fol-
lows:

“The colonies have declared their willingness to
assume the whole liability of the cost of the road, pro-
vided they are assisted in raising the requisite funds
for its construction, at a moderate rate of interest, by
the Imperial guarantee. It may fairly be said that the
proposal now is not of a loan of Imperial moneys to
the colonies for colonial purposes only, but of a mode
involving no actual liability to the Imperial govern-
ment, to facilitate the construction of a great national
work in the interest of the Empire as well as of the
colonies. The only question involved, as regards
Great Britain, is the sufficiency of the security offered
by the colonies to cover this distant liability resulting
from the Imperial guarantee. If their past condition,
compared with the present, does not establish fully
their ability to repay the loan at the periods proposed,
such a comparison would only prove, more strongly
than any other fact, that this admittedly necessary
work of military defence ought to be executed by the
Imperial government alone. Hut to make evident the
ampleness of the security offered by Canada, it is suffi-
cient to compare the revenue of the colony in 1842,
when the first Imperial guaranteed loan was effected,
with the revenue in 1861. In 1842 it was .£300,497 stg. ;
in 1861 it was, after deduction of the cost of collection,
£ 2 , 312.856 stg.

After several interviews with your Grace and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the conditions of
the loan, the nature of the security, and the arrange-
ments of a sinking fund were discussed without com-
ing to any positive understanding, the delegates have
now been officially informed that the Imperial guaran-
tee will be given on certain conditions (stated below).
The delegates regret to say, that in their opinion some
of these conditions are of a nature to render the Im-
perial guarantee of no advantage, and others to render
its availableness so remote, or encumbered with such
difficulties, that the colonies could not accept it as an
assistance towards an undertaking and a measure to
provide facilities essential to the public defence of the

f irovinces as integral parts of the empire. The stipu-
ation that the loan is to be the first charge after the
interest of existing debts, seems to them shaped so as
to operate against the payment of other debts coming
due before the repayment, of the loan. The annual
repavment of the loan renders the period of payment
much shorter than the period proposed, and besides
the loss it involves, it deprives the colony of a large
sum which, employed during such a period towards
internal inprovements, would afford a greater security
than this annual payment, by the development of the
resources and of the wealth of the country. In any ar-
rangement, the colonies ought not to be fettered by
conditions of payment through any form of sinking
fund which would render this Imperial guarantee an
impediment to future internal improvements, while
by increasing the rate of interest, and by the expenses
and loss incurred in its management, the Imperial
guarantee would thus cease to be of any real aid and
advantage. The investment of these annual payments
in colonial securities will not give a better security
than the engagement of the colonial government to
pay a fixed sum at a fixed period.

These investments in such colonial securities as Her
Majesty’s government shall direct and the colonial
governments shall approve, will lead to difficulties
which, if not of a graver character than those that
have already arisen out of the disposal of the sinking
fund created for the first Imperial guarantee, fully
satisfy the delegates that these arrangements arc not
more favorable than the former.

The experience of Canada is strongly adverse to a
sinking fund. It created annoyance and difficulties,
made the rate of interest higher than she would have

f >aid by borrowing on her unassisted credit. The de-
egates are informed that it is of course understood
that the assent of the Treasury to these arrangements
presupposes adequate proof of the sufficiency of the
Colonial resources to meet the charges intended to be
imposed upon them. When, after more than 20 years’
negotiations, the offer of an Imperial guarantee was
made, the Colonies had some right to believe that the
sufficiency of their revenues to meet these increased
charges was known and acknowledged, as all infor-
mation which they could give is already in the pos-
session of the Treasury, and is set forth in the fullest
detail in the Statistical Tables annually published by
Her Majesty’s Government. No survey, no legislation
can take place before the Colonies are made aware that
adequate proof has been made of the sufficiency of
their revenues to meet the intended charges, and it
would be important for the Colonies to be informed,
at the earliest period, what further proof is wanted.
The 8th condition is that fitting provision is to be
made for the carrying of troops, Ac. If it is meant
that the troops are to be carried free of charge, the
delegates must observe that when this was offered by
the Colonies, it was a part of the scheme then pro-
posed, that England should contribute half the cost of
the construction of the road. When it is now propos-
ed that the whole cost should be borne by the Colo-
nies, it cannot be expected that they must also relieve
the Imperial Government from all expenditure at-
tending the transport of troops, &c. All these condi-
tions presuppose that the Imperial Government has
no interest to serve or policy to uphold in the con-
struction of this great railway; that the Colonies must
be treated as any other government asking a loan from
the Imperial Treasury. Proof is required such as is
exacted from any unknown debtor as to the suffi-
ciency of his means to meet his engagements. With
an ordinary debtor, when this sufficiency is establish-
ed, he may do what he pleases with the money bor-
rowed. But in this instance the funds are to be ap-
plied to an undertaking admitted by all to afford an
immense development to the wealth of the creditor,
enabling him to maintain efficiently his power and
supremacy, with the power even of directing the lo-
cation of this work where, in his opinion, it will se-
cure all these advantages most efficiently, although
the cost to the debtor may be much increased, and the
pecuniary advantages made much less, if there be not
a great loss thereby.

The Treasury proposes another condition, which
must greatly delay all the arrangements, and may,
after all the expense attending the requisite surveys,
the trouble, and the difficulties of carrying the neces-
sary legislation in the different coloniallegislatures,
render all this trouble, all this expenditure, all this
legislation, useless and of no avail, leaving, certainly,
a strong feeling of dissatisfaction in the minds of the
inhabitants of the Colonies. The Imperial Govern-
ment is not to be asked for this guarantee until the
line and the surveys shall have been submitted to and
approved by Her Majesty’s Government, and until it
shall have been proved to the satisfaction of Her Ma-
jesty’s Government, that the line can be constructed
without further application for an Imperial guarantee.
The proposed guarantee is limited by the Treasury to
■£3,000,000 ; it is possible that the railroad may cost
half a million or more above this fixed sum of .±3,000,-
000, and this by the fact of a selection of a route chos-
en for its military advantages, and upon considerations
certainly as Imperial as Colonial. And then the Colo-
nies, before obtaining this guarantee, must prove to
parties not always shewing too much confidence in
their wealth, that the line can be constructed without
further application for an Imperial guarantee. An-
other period of many years will probably elapse before
the discussion upon this point closes. The schedule
presupposes that the rate of interest is fixed by the

commentary upon the official statement made by Ea
Qrey in 1848: ‘ Her Majesty’s Government ftillvappre
Elites the importance of the proposed undertaking,
and entertninJ no doubt of the great advantages whic
would result, not only to the 1‘rovinces Cte con-
the work, but to the empire at large, from the con
struction of such a railway. But before P™ c ^ edl ”£
consider the question whether steps should be taken
bv 1-1 er Majesty’s Government to carrv this plan into
effect it was necessary that it should be informed how
the several Provinces were disposed to co-operate in
its execution.’ These demands rather ungracefully
Imsay' the etoquent words of Earl Onto: ‘tha* . to
grant Imperial aid was a wise, a sound, and even
an economical course in the end, even though in the
first instance it would involve an outlay q and sure
he was it would confer immense benefits on the
Colonies, and bestow incalculable advantages on this
country itself, and confirm its territorial power m
North America.’ The question of the public defences
of the Colonies, as integral parts of the Empire, the
question of the maintenance, of the extension of the
political and social influence of England o>er the

whole of her immense possessions in North America,
the economical questions of so vast magnitude to tin e
welfare of the nation, the question of unemployed cap-
ital, of surplus labor, underlie every link of the great
and national road which Canada is anxious to build
bv the largest and most liberal contributions, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. She had a just right to ask
the co-operation of Great Britain, and when she only
demands an advance of guarantee,
eventualities involve the liability of a single half-
penny, she has certainly fair grounds to expect a
prompt and liberal course of action. If the different
groups of population spread over British America,
and which will number at least twelve or fifteen mil-
lions in 25 years, are allowed to proceed in different
directions, to have no common tendencies, without
any centralization of their political existence, no other
bond but their disjointed interests, fostered by differ-
ent commercial policies, and settled upon principles of
localities, they must continue weak and powerless, and
an easy prey to the powerful republic girdled round
these colonies. Bind all these small communities by
closer intercourse, make a whole, strong by its unity
of interests, of tendencies, of political organizations,
of common views; create by commercial relations
mutual interests amongst themselves and with Eng-
land, direct their minds towards a general and com-
prehensive policy, you will thus benefit the industry,
the wealth of England, extend your power of civiliza-
tion, and lay the foundation of large and important
States, friendly and grateful.

The Canadian Government does not press this undcr-
- taking because it is popular with their people ; on the
contrary, they have to encounter a strong and popular
opposition; but fully appreciating the strength and
the importance it will eventually give their country,
and more particularly the facilities it will provide for
the public defence of their part of the empire, they
have not hesitated to adopt a policy which, appeared
to them sound, highly national, and conducive to the
greatness and the defence of the empire at large. As
a measure of defence, Canada will cheerfully bear her
share of the large burden imposed by the construction
of the road. But if the policy of the Imperial Govern-

* rotation to this work, is practically a declara-
? eDt i-h?t thev arenot disposed to treat it as a measure
SnVtteniU concern and of public defence of the empire,
IJitefnrise will not become more popular. Ihe
tin ellteri r involved and following out of the

StSBSt!, this so distant liability of the
mmaiiim , are so much at variance with the

a .me policy entertained by Canada, that the
uifdersicned have considered themselves bound to re-
view these long pending negotiations, and to contrast
the view of the Colonies as to the military and Imperial
character of tiie work, with the Imperial policy, rehis-
ingto contribute towards it, and arranging not an
advance of money, but a simple guarantee, which the
work alone would suflicien fy protect in a manner
illiberal, obstructive, and which refuses to acknowledge
any corresponding duty on the part of the mother
country They will hasten to submit to their Govern-
ment the conditions and arrangements proposed by
the Imperial Government to carry out the offer of an
Imperial guarantee, with the hope that upon the
Dressing instance of the Colonies, this aid of an Imperial
ffiiarantce will bo given in the manner explained by the
delegates at their different interviews with your Grace
and the Treasury The conditions urged by the .dele-
gates (which appear below) in enabling the Colonies to
borrow the requisite funds at the low rate of 3* per cent,
would render the Imperial guarantee a real and tang-
ible assistance, accepted as an equivalent to the con-
tribution of the Imperial Government towards a work
of national concern and a measure of public delence.
The actual and latere wealth of the Colonies are ample
and sufficient securities to the Imperial Exchequer
against the possibility, even the most remote, ot any
loss, and a satisfactory proof that the road would be

constructed if these conditions were accepted.

Proposals of the Delegates referred to above.— 1.1 hat
the loan shall be for .£3,000,000 Stg.; 2. That theliabi-
lities of eacli colony shall be apportioned as follows:
£1,250,000 for Canada, £875,000 for New Brunswick;
and the same sum for Nova Scotia; 3. The debentures
shall bear interest at the rate of 3^ per cent; 4. }»e in-
terest shall be paid half yearly in London, on the 1st
May, and 1st November; 5. That the ^jni ^rrowed
shall be repaid in four instalments; £2o0,0(K) in IU
years ; £500,000 in 20 years ; £1,000,000 in 30 years, and
£1,250,000 in 40 years; 6. The net profits of the road
shall be applied towards the extinction of the debt; i.
The loan shall be the first charge upon the revenue ot
each colony after the existing debts and charges ; 8. 1 he
Imperial government shall have the right to select one
of the engineers to be appointed to make the surveys
for the location of the road; 9. The selection of the
line shall rest with the Imperial government; 10. it ij
is con cliulod that the work is to be constructed and
managed by a joint Commission, Canada shall appoint
two of the commissioners, New Brunswick and iNoia
Scotia, each one; those four to name a fifth before en-
tering upon the discharge of their duties; 11. Such por-
tions of the railways now owned by the Governments
of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, which may be
required to form part of the Intercolonial road, shall De
worked under the above commission ; 12. 1 hat an net
gain or loss resulting from the working and keeping i

row £3,000,000 under the guarantee of the British
Government in the following proportions : five-tweiltM

given to the Governments of the other two Colon***
concerned, nor unless the Imperial Government snail

3. The money to be applied to the completion of a
Railway connecting Halifax with Quebec on a line to
be approved by the Imperial Government.

4. The interest to be a first charge on the consoli-
dated Revenue F unds of the different Provinces after
the Civil List and the interest of existing debts, and
as regards C anada, after the rest of the six charges
enumerated in the 5 and 6 Vic. cap. 118, and 3 and 4
Vic. cap. 35 (Act of Union).

5. The Debentures to be in series as follows, viz:

£250,000 payable 10 years after contracting loan.

£500,000 “ 20 years.

£1,000,000 “ 30 years.

£1,250,000 “ 40 years.

In the event of these Debentures or any of them
not being redeemed by the Colonies at the period when
they fall due, the amount unpaid shall become a charge
on their respective revenues, next after the loan, until
paid. The principal to be repaid as follows:

1st decade, say 1863 to 1872 inclusive, £250,000 in re-
demption of the 1st series at or before the close of the
1st decade from the contracting of the loan.

2nd decade, say 1873 to 1882 inclusive, a sinking fund
of £40,000 to be remitted annually, being an amount
adequate, if invested at 5 per cent.' compound interest,
to provide £600,000 at the end of the decade, the sum
to be remitted annually to be invested in the names of
Trustees in Colonial securities of any of the three Pro-
vinces prior to or forming part of the loan now to be
raised, or in such other Colonial securities as Her Ma-
jesty’s Government shall direct and the then Colonial
Government approve.

3rd decade, say 1883 to 1892 inclusive, a sinking fund
of £80,000 to be remitted annually, being an amount

adequate, if invested at 5 per cent, compound interest,
to provide £1,000,000 at the end of the decade, the
amount when remitted to be invested, as in the case ot
the sinking fund for the preceding decade.

4th Decade, say 1898 to 1902 inclusive, a sinking fund
of £100, 000 to be remitted annually, being an amount
adequate, if invested at 5 per cent, compound interest,
to provide £1,250,000, being the balance of the loan at
the end of the decade. This amount, when remitted,
to be invested as in the preceding decade.

Should the sinking fund of any decade produce a sur-
plus, it will go to the credit of the next decade. And
in the last decade the sinking fund will be remitted or
reduced accordingly.

It is of course understood that the assent of the Trea-
sury to these arrangements presupposes adequate
proof of the sufficiency of the Colonial revenues to
meet the charges intended to be imposed upon them.

6. The construction of the railway to be conducted
by five commissioners, two to be appointed by Canada,
one by Nova Scotia, and one by New Brunswick.
These four to choose the remaining commissioner.

7. The preliminary surveys to be effected at the ex-
pense of the Colonies, by three engineers or other offi-
cers nominated, two by 'the commissioners and one by
the Home Government.

8. Fitting provision to be made for carriage of troops.

9. Parliament not to be asked for this guarantee until
the line and surveys shall have been submitted to and
approved of by Her .Majesty’s Government, and until
it shall have been shown to the satisfaction of Her
Majesty’s Government that the line can be constructed
without further application for an Imperial guarantee.

The difference of opinion between the negotiating
parties was chiefly as to the sinking fund. From a
letter written by Hon. S. L. Tilley, dated London,
13th Dec. 1862, it appears that while he hoped that Mr.
Gladstone might be induced to reconsider the matter
of the sinking fund, yet he would not assume the re-
sponsibility of perilling or delaying the enterprise by
rejecting what the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
cabinet might regard as an indispensable condition.
The Hon. Joseph Howe also concurred in the objec-
tions to the sinking fund, but while he hoped that the
Imperial Parliament might be induced “to rely upon
the honor and the ample revenues of the Provinces for
the prompt payment of the instalments,” yet, if the
Imperial Government should refuse to concede this
point, he was quite prepared to submit the measure to
his colleagues with strong recommendations that it be
sanctioned by legislation at the approaching session.

The Canadian delegates therefore stood alone in
their determination not to yield in the matter of a
sinking fund. The Duke of Newcastle, in a despatch

to Lord Mo nek, dated 17th January 1863, seems to com-
plain of this obstinacy, and to derogate from the full
powers vested in them. The letter is as follows :

My Lord, — You will no doubt have received fVora
Messrs. Howland and Sicotte a copy of a memorandum
which they have addressed to me respecting the pro-
posed loan for the construction of the Intercolonial
Railway. My first impression derived from the lan-
guage and general character of that document, was
that it amounted to a linal though indirect rejection,
on the part of Canada, of the terms offered by Her
Majesty’s Government, and thus required no present
notice from me. As, however, the act of the Canadian
delegates is not necessarily to be taken as that of the
Government, and as, therefore, the question will pro-
bably be further agitated in the Colony, I have thought
it best to inform you generally of the circumstances
under which this memorandum was sent to me.

The whole question of the loan was very fully can-
vassed at this office in repeated interviews between
the four delegates and myself; and I was certainly
under the impression that, with a single exception,
the very numerous objections interposed by iMr. Si-
cotte had been successively removed oy explanation or
concession. The exception related to the mode of
securing repayment of the principal sum borrowed,

but I collected that even on this to^^fbwn

might be employed in extinguishing the . debt, or in

for Pans where 1 presume they received a copv of the
memorandum embodying the *hich Her Maj

Gnvpmment were prepared to sanction,

J wl.fch the delegates of Nova ‘scotia and New Bruns-
wick have sign ilied their readiness to accept. On their

L«‘r»«5SS

leagues', "and'whicii I had Si led to suppose contained

conference the intentions of Her Majesty s Govern-
ment I will myself only observe upon them first
that the repudiation by Messrs. Sicotte Howland
of anv fixed arrangement for securing payment ol the
princlpaf borrowed does not appear wholly consistent
with t?ie sixth article of their own counter proposal,
Zld next, that the British Treasury, in proposing four
ner cent, as the rate of interest, can hardly be supposed
fo insist on that rate being offered, if it should appear
that the money could be obtained at par on more ad-
vanta“ eo^ terms. I shall of course wish to be informed
wlmttfer the views set forth in the delegates’ paper
are accepted by the Canadian Government and
whether! am to understand that the offer of her
Majesty’s Government is finally rejected.

The inquiry contained in the above despatch was
answered in effect by the following report of a com-
mittee of the Executive Council of Canada:

Your Excellency’s advisers concur in the views urg-
ed upon the Imperial authorities by Hie Canadian
delegates who were lately in England. als 9r°Jj‘

serve bv the papers in their possession, that the Hon
Messrs. Howe and Tilley, although consenting as a last
resort to accept the conditions proposed by the Lords
of the Treasury, fully concurred in the objections enter-
tained by this Government and its delegates against the
moposed sinking fund. Without entering into further
Siscussion of the difference existing between the Im-
perial and Colonial proposals, your Excellency s ad-
visers consider it due to the delegates from the
other Provinces to call attention to their last communi-
cation to the Colonial office before leaving England,
in which “ the hope is expressed that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer will re-consider the matter of the
sinking fund, and that the Colonies may be enabled to
convince the Imperial Government and Par lament
that under all the circumstances of this particular case
a sinking fund should not be insisted upon, and that
the Imperial Authorities may be induced to re 1 }' upon
the honor and the ample revenues of the 1 rovinces
for the prompt payment of the instalments as they be-
come due ” The Committee are of opinion that a more
exact survey than any yet made is indispensable, m
order to ascertain the proximate cost of the road, be-
fore a final decision or legislation can be had on the
different proposals of the Imperial and Colonial Gov-
ernments. The Hon. Mr. Tilley made known in Lon-
don to the Imperial Government and the other dele-
gates that he had instructions not to pledge New
Brunswick to a greater expenditure for the whole
road than three millions and a half, and that if the es-
timated amount was to exceed that sum, he would
have to submit the whole question again to his Govern-
ment. The last Imperial proposal restricted the Im-
perial guarantee of interest to a capital of three mil-
lions stg. , and even this guarantee was not to be ask-
ed of the Imperial Government until the sufficiency of
the Colonial revenues to meet the charges to be im-
posed upon them was established to the satisfaction
of the Treasury, until the route and surveys had been
submitted to and approved by the Imperial Govern-
ment; and till it could be shown to the satisfaction
of Her Majesty’s Government that the whole work
could be done without application for any Imperial
guarantee over and above that to be given on the three

Provinces 1 for the joint survey.” The report
i inc with an expression of confidence that the
of Great Britain will
crant the proposed guarantee oi interest on t he most
fiberal terms, Tn view of the importance of the work
as a measure of defence, and a means of extending and
securing tlie p.ditical and commercial influence of
England over an iininonse territory extending from the
Atlantic to the 1’acific.

The following letter was addressed by Hon. S. L.
Tilley to Sir Frederic Rogers, at the Colonial Office, on
the subject of the proposed loan :

Provincial, Secretary's Office,

Fredericton, N. B., Jan. 5, 1863.
Dear Sir,— Just before leaving London I received
a copy of the paper you read to me at the Colonial
Office on the morning of the 13th December last, as
embodying the terms on which the Duke_ of Newcastle
and Mr. Gladstone would be prepared to propose to
Parliament an Imperial guarantee of the railway Hoan
of £3 000,000. In the letter accompanying the mem-
orandum, you state that the fourth clause is not altered
so as to meet my objections, as Mr. Hamilton thought
it* best that I should receive the paper as it stood, and
that I could make my observations upon thatsection.
A* worded, the provisions of section 4, if embodied
in an act of our Legislature, would change the charac-
ter of our debentures now outstanding. Such a mear
suro could not be sanctioned by the Government or
Legislature, and 1 am confident it will not be insisted
upon when understood by Mr. Gladstone. The * pro-
posed loan must stand as a first charge on Consoli-
dated Revenue after tlie Civil List and existing legal
liabilities, including principal as well as Dur-

ing one of the interviews with which Mr. Howland and
I were favored by Mr. Hamilton, it was understood that
if the Imperial guarantee was given, the debentures
would be issued by the Lords Commissioners of Her
Majesty’s Treasury, and these Commissioners would
act as trustees of this loan and the sinking fund. This
arrangement is only indirectly reared to ln th^em-
orandum transmitted to me on the 13th Dewmoer.
You will please obtain the sanction ot the Treasury to
an additional section containing this proposal.

The following is the minute by tlie Secretary to
the Treasury on the two points submitted above.

“ With reference to the two questions raised by Mr.
Tilley upon the stipulations embodied in thememoran-
dum relating to the proposed loan for the construction
of an Intercolonial Railway, the Treasury considers
that an answer should be sent to the following effect.
1. Her Majesty’s Government never contemplated
acquiring a precedence over existing engagements or
the Colonial Government, whether for interest or prin-
cipal, but the assent of the Treasury to tlie arrange-
ment presupposes adequate proof of the sufficiency or
the Colonial revenues to meet the charges imposed
upon them, which charges would comprise not only
the civil list, and the accruing interest of any existing
debt, standing in priority to the proposed railway
loan, but also any payment of principal standing m
the same priority, which may fall due within the pe-
riod at the expiration of which the railway loan is
required to be fully liquidated, as well as the current
interest, and the decennial accumulations for extia ®*
tion of the principal of the proposed railway loan. ISO

of the Canadian Guaranteed Loan of 1843, made under
the hand of the Lords Commissioners, and to author-
ize one of their officers to act as trustee, together with
a nominee of the Colony for the investment in their
joint names of the instalments remitted from time to
time on account of sinking fund, provided such a course
should be deemed advisable by the Colonial Govern-
ment.

Present posit idk of the Project — The Canadian Gov-
ernment having approved of the course pursued by
their delegates, the agreement of September 1862 has
been considered at an end. This will appear from the
following document recently published :

Report of a Committee of the honorable the Execu-
tive Council of Canada, approved by the Governor
General in Council, on the 29th Sept., 1863.

The Committee of the Executive Council having had
referred to them the despatch of the 18th September,
instant, of his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor
of New Brunswick, transmitting copy of a minute of
his Executive Council on the subject of the contem-

! dated survey for an Intercolonial Railway, have the
lonor to submit for your Excellency’s consideration
the following observations in relation thereto: The
Committee find that whilst the Executive Council of
New Brunswick advise the appointment of a surveyor
to act in conjunction with the surveyor appointed by
this Province, to conduct the proposed survey, they
would seem to qualify the recommendation by associa-
ting with it a hope that, the survey being accomplished,
the basis agreed upon by the convention held in Sept.
1862, will be adhered to, if the construction of the rail-
way be hereafter found practicable. The Committee
learn with pleasure that, so far as the sflrvey is con-
cerned, their plans are cordially acquiesced in by the
Executive of New Brunswick; and they look forward
with satisfaction to the consummation of the import-
ant undertaking of which the survey is the prelimi-
nary step. In order that there may be no misappre-
hension, however, between the Governments of the
Provinces having a common interest in this matter,
the Committee think it right to call to mind the man-
ner in which the negotiations, conducted in London,
terminated and the general position in which the
question of an Intercolonial Railway at present stands
in this Province. The Committee would remind your
Excellency that the conditions proposed by the Impe-
rial Government, in connection with the assistance to
be rendered towards the construction of the railway,
differed in some important particulars from the agree-
ment of Sept. 1862, and from the instructions which
the delegates sent on the part of Canada were charged
to carry into effect. The Committee may refer to the
distinct refusal, on the part of the Imperial Govern-
ment, to regard the contribution which Canada might
make to the Intercolonial Railway as being to that ex-
tent an expenditure for defensive purposes, to the pro-
posed sinking fund, and to the condition set forth in
the ninth of the series of propositions presented by
the Imperial Government — Parliament not to be asked
for this guarantee until the line and surveys shall have
been submitted to and approved by Her Majesty's Gov-
ernment, and until it shall have been shown to the
satisfaction of Her Majesty’s Government, that the
line can be constructed without further application for
an Imperial guarantee; the Imperial Government thus
making the proposed assistance by way of loan contin-
gent upon the results of a previous survey establish-
ing the sufficiency of a guarantee for the full purposes
for which it was to be granted. The delegates were
therefore constrained to decline the acceptance of a
proposal fettered by conditions so much at variance
with their instructions, and their decision received the
approval of their colleagues, as being in harmony with
the spirit of the agreement arrived at by the Quebec
Convention, and in entire conformity with the une-
quivocal tone of public opinion in the Province. The
negotiations founded upon the understanding entered
into by the convention of Sept. 1862, were regarded as
terminated with the return of the delegates to this
Province, and it was hoped that the report of this
Council, of 25th February last, would have sufficed to
prevent misconception as to the necessary abandon-
ment of the basis upon which the negotiations up to
that time had been founded, and to show that any fur-
ther action by the Government of this Province must

* D

be the subject of subsequent consideration. It is fur-
ther to be observed, that the carrying out of the agree-
ment of Sept. 1862, necessarily depended upon the
success of the negotiations with the Imperial Govern-
ment, and the assent of the Legislatures of the three
Provinces being obtained. These negotiations having
failed, and it being manifest that the construction of
the railway could not be attempted without Imperial
aid— the Canadian Government did not feel that they
were in a position to invite any action on the part of
the Canadian Legislature beyond making a provision
for a preliminary survey — the results of which may
lead to further negotiations, and on a different basis
from that agreed to hy the convention. In order to
promote the construction of a work which the events
of each succeeding year invest with greater importance,
the Committee addressed themselves to the task of de-
vising plans whereby the attainment of the object
might be secured in a manner consistent with the in-
terests and resources of this Province. They found
that the examination of the route, and the satisfactory
completion of a survey were also indicated by the Im-
perial Government as conditions precedent of any ne-
gotiations, and they then informed your Excellency
that they had decided upon recommending an appro-
priation, by the Legislature of Canada, for the purpose
of making such a survey as is necessary to the final de-
termination of the several proposals. In conformity
with this determination, they have asked an appropri-
ation of $10,000 during the present session, and they
have also appointed an engineer to proceed with the
survey, so soon as the requisite arrangements can be
completed. The action of the Legislature has pro-
ceeded so far as that it may be regarded as having ren-
dered the appropriation a certainty, and the immediate
commencement of the survey is therefore dependent
only upon the unqualified concurrence of the Provinces
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The necessity of a
prompt decision on the part of the Government of New
Brunswick, with a view to an early commencement of
the survey, is obvious, inasmuch as the season during
which this survey may be most advantageously per-
formed, is rapidly passing away.

The sum of $10,000 has been voted for the survey.
(See Chronicle of Events, Sept. 23rd, 1863.) The argu-
ments for and against the execution of the project
have now been before the public for many years. The
arguments in its favor have already been set forth at
length in the various documents cited. We may, "how-
ever, add here, that in an address delivered at Halifax
some months ago, Hon. Mr. McGee, a warm advocate,
not only of the intercolonial railway, but of British
American nationality, recapitulated them in part as
follows: 1st. The argument from association; 2nd.
The commercial argument in favor of intercolonial
free trade; 3rd. The immigration argument; 4th. The
patriotic argument, drawn from the absolute necessity
of cultivating an enthusiastic patriotism ; 5th. The
argument of political necessity, arising from the state
of our neighbors. On the other hand, it has been
strongly urged by an influential portion of the press
of Canada, 1st. That the revenue is already two or
three millions less than current expenditure, and the
expense of this undertaking would vastly swell the
deficit; 2nd. That besides the loss of the interest on
the capital sunk, the road could not pay the working
expenses, thereby entailing a heavy additional loss
upon the Province; 3rd. That the road is only neces-
sary in winter, and during this season the snow would
block it up to such an extent that an enormous outlay
would be required to keep it in running order; 4th.
That the freight traffic between Canada and the
Lower Provinces is not of a description to pay rail-
road rates, and would continue to be interchanged al-
most exclusively by water as at present; 5th. That
judging from past experience in Canada, the construc-
tion of such a great work would bring on a repetition

50

[1864. B. N. A.

of the corruption and jobbery which have already ex-
hausted the public purse; 6th. that the Grand Trunk
line from Richmond to Riviere du Loup would be forced
upon the hands of the Province, and an additional
outlay required to maintain this unproductive line;
7th. That as a military road it might easily be rendered
useless, inasmuch as running for a considerable dis-
tance along the enemy’s frontier, a few squadrons of
cavalry could in a few hours render it impassable.

Notwithstanding these and other grounds, we be-
lieve the general conviction is that the construction of
the road is only a question of time, and that its suc-
cessful accomplishment will be a source of almost uni-
versal gratification.

We regret to observe an announcement which has
appeared since the above was in type, to the effect that
the Lower Provinces have declined to proceed with
the survey, in consequence of the Canadian Govern-
ment having withdrawn from the agreement of 18G2.
We trust that this difficulty may be only temporary.
The respective Governments of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick are anxious to proceed with the undertak-
ing, and are prepared to accept the terms offered by

Great Britain, as appears by the annexed despatch of
the Earl of Mulgravc to Lord Monck, with which we
close the review of this project;

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION.

Canada, the most populous, wealthy and important
of the British possessions in the New World, was
discovered in the year 1534 by Jacques Cartier, a navi-
gator in the service of the French king. The origin
of the name is uncertain, various explanations being
given. Some suppose it to be aboriginal, deriving it
from a dialect of the Iroquois language, in which a
town or village is called Kanathaje. They suppose that
Jacques Cartier, who first used the term “Canada,”
having heard the natives apply the Iroquois word
to their primitive village, Stadacona, mistook it for the
name of the country. Others 'would derive the name
from the Spanish or Portuguese, by putting together
the words, Ca, here, and nada, nothing, supposed to
have been uttered by the first explorers when they
found no precious metals in the country.

In 1534, Jacques Cartier coasted part of Newfound-
land, entered the gulf of the St. Lawrence by the strait
of Belle Isle, and having taken possession of the country
around the Bay of Chaleurs, returned to France. The
following year he re-visited America, and ascended the
St. Lawrence as far as Quebec, then called Stadacona
by the natives. Here ho moored his vessels, resolving
to winter in the country. On the 19th September,
Cartier, with a small party, ascended as far as the
native settlement called Hochelaga, where lie was wel-
comed with manifestations of joy. The expedition,
as may be imagined, suffered greatly during the long
winter, and in spring, Cartier hastily returned to
France.

It is not within the province of this brief sketch to
dwell upon the vicissitudes of the colonists, or to
mark the lengthened struggle between civilization and
barbarism. A few leading events only can be noticed.
Canada continued under tlic rule of the French king,
but harassed by wars at home, France was unable to
bestow that continuous attention upon the colony wliich

its importance deserved. In 1549, Roberval, being
allowed to organize another expedition, set out for
Canada, but the brave soldier and enterprising explorer
was lost during the passage, with all liis followers,— a
melancholy accident, which led to the temporary aban-
donment of the settlement. In 1603, however, France
again had leisure to direct her attention to the New
World , and in this year, Champlain, a navigator whose
name is honorably connected with Canadian discover-
ies, sailed up the St. Lawrence as far as Sault St. Louis.
The footing then obtained was not lost till 1628, when
a small fleet was equipped in England for the purpose
of attacking Quebec and other settlements of New
France. On the 29th July of the following year, Que-
bec surrendered to Admiral Kertk who commanded
the English expedition ; but the colony was restored
to France by the treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye, signed
three years afterwards.

At this time the population was very small. In 1663,
when the Sovereign Council was established at Que-
bec, the inhabitants of this place did not number a
thousand . The mode of colonization was semi-relig-
ious. Bands of Jesuit and Recollet missionaries pene-
trated the country in all directions, endeavouring to
convert the I ndians to the Christian faith. Garrisoned
forts were erected at all the prominent points, and the
ensuing century w r as chequered by contests with the
Indians, especially the Iroquois, a fierce tribe which
continually harassed the French, the latter being aided
by the less powerful Hurons. The old feudal system
of France was established, the seigniories being at
first of comparatively small value. As time rolled on
the system was found detrimental to the interests of
the country, and in 1854 the Legislature made provision
for its abolition.

Notwithstanding the numerous difficulties and dan-
gers that beset the infant colony, it made no incon-
siderable progress. The year 1663 was marked by the

This council acted as a court of appeal, and also re-
gistered edicts and ordinances of the French kings.
The province was divided into three districts, — Quebec,
Three Rivers and Montreal, in each of which there
was a king’s judge, who sat twice a week to hear
causes, civil and criminal. Besides these regular
courts, there was a very high judicial power vested in
the intendants'&nxi. their deputies. The seigniors were
also authorized, under certain restrictions, to admin-
ister justice within their seigniories.

After the appointment of M. de Laval, first bishop
of Quebec, serious dissensions broke out between the
church and state, which harassed the colony for many
years, the contending parties meeting with alternate
success. And soon, a new danger from without men-
aced the country. In 1690, a squadron of 35 sail, with
2,000 militia men on board, left Boston under the com-
mand of Sir Wm. Phipps, and on the morning of the
16th October, the garrison of Quebec was summoned
to surrender. The place was bombarded, but without
success, and the fleet was finally obliged to retire.
Other attempts were subsequently made, but it was not
till 1759 that the power of Fiance in the New World
sustained a severe shock by the taking of Quebec,
under circumstances which are too well known to
require repetition. The blow was followed up, and in
1763, the era of French supremacy was ended by the
cession of Canada to Britain.

Canada continued for some years under military rule.
The ancient laws were at first abrogated, but were sub-
sequently re-iutroduced, though it has been doubted
whether they ever ceased to be in force. The
French Canadians were also guaranteed the free cxer‘
cise of their religion, and their clergy remained in the
enjoyment of their former rights. The ancient crimi-
nal law was, however, superseded by the criminal
law of England. Finally the legislative council was
established in 1774.

The American revolution soon after convulsed the
continent, and Canada was again the theatre of con-
tending hosts. The American army of invasion
advanced without much difficulty over large tracts of
the country, but received a check at Quebec, where
Montgomery fell.

For some years the government was unsettled, but
in 1791 the province was divided into two, Upper and
Lower, and representative government introduced, an
event which, though far from satisfying flic French
Canadian party, was, nevertheless, a step in that direc-
tion. This party seemed strongly impressed with the
belief that the destiny of Canada depended on the main-
tenance of their religion, language and laws — a belief
which did much to embitter the contests of political
parties, and intensify the rivalry between races.

In 1812, Canada was again disturbed by the war
between Great Britain and the United States, but at
its close the colony still remained in close connection
with the mother country.

In 1822, the first project for re-uniting the Canadas was
started. Attempts were made to render the advisers
of the governors responsible to the popular branch of
the Legislature. For some time theso efforts were
unsuccessful, and the fierceness of the struggle greatly

excited the colony. In 1837, the agitation was fanned
into open violence, and several conflicts ensued be-
tween t he insurgents and royalists. Bu t the years 1840
and 1841 restored tranquillity, the two Canadas being
re-united in 1840, by an Imperial Act, under one ad-
ministration, and responsible government being defi-
nitively established in 1841. There is now a legisla-
tive council, to which the elective principle haslbeen
applied; a legislative assembly composed of 130 mem-
bers, 65 from each section of the province, a cabinet
responsible to the legislature, and a governor general,
appointed by the Queen, but paid by the colony. The
parliament buildings in Montreal being burned by a
mob in 1849, the sessions of the legislature have since
been held for four years alternately in Toronto and
Quebec. Ottawa was some years ago selected by the
Queen as the capital, and as soon as the parliament
buildings, now in course of erection there, are com-
pleted, the sessions of the legislature will be held in
that city. The following are the cabinets which have
existed since the union, and the dates of their forma-
tion : —

In May 1863, the Macdonald (J. S.)— Sicotte govern-
ment being defeated, the House was dissolved, and a
general election took place. The names of the mem-
bers elected appear elsewhere. The ministry was at the
same time re-constructed, Hon. J. S. Macdonald still
bcingPremier, and Hon. A. A. Dorion being associated
with him as Attorney General for Canada East. In
Sept. 1863, Hon. Mr. Sicotte was elevated to the Bench.

GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL
OBSERVATIONS.

The Province of Canada extends in an easterly direc-
tion from near the Red River settlement to the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, and from Michigan to New Bruns-
wick. It extends northward from the Canadian lakes
and the St. Lawrence to the high ridge of land which
separates the rivers of Canada from those of the Hud-
son-Bay section of the Hudson-Bay Territory. It is
bounded N. by the Hudson-Bay Territory ; E. by the
Gulf of St. Lawrence; S. by the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, and Lakes Erie
and Ontario; and W. by Lakes St. Clair, Huron and
Superior, and the North-West Indian territories.

The area is 390,000 square miles, of which 210,000 are
included in Canada East, and 180,000 in Canada West.
By the census of 1861, the population of Canada East
was 1,110,664; Canada West, 1,396,091.

The principal rivers arc the St. Lawrence, which
drains an area of 565,000 square miles; the Ottawa, 450
miles long, which forms a central boundary between
the two sections of the Province; the St. Maurice,
nearly 400 miles in length; the Saguenay, 100 miles
long, noted for its fine scenery; the Richelieu, the Nia-
gara, and others. Upper Canada has for its southern

of which the total length is 1,085 miles, and area 80,000

g The y commercial importance of the r-ovince is al-
ready well established. Every cflort to develop s
resources and to extend its trade has been attc "dedhy
tt ?0 most satisfactory results. The system o inland
navigation is the most extensive and perfect in ti c
world; and in the event of a confederation of the
British colonics on this continent, and the completion
of a grand line of railway communication Horn the
Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada would occupy a ccn
tral and commanding position, the importance and
influence of which can hardly be exaggerated The
financial statements show a considerable annual defi-
cit for several years back, but this is an embarrass-
ment which the present Government have undertaken
to remove, by greater economy on the one hand, and
1 adequate system of taxation on the other. The fine
climate and fertile soil which Canada possesses are
beginning to be properly appreciated abroad The o d
idea which is said to have been prevalent, that tins
Province was a desolate and chilly place, the almost
exclusive abode of the lumberman and fur-trader, is
now it may safely be presumed, entertained by few
intelligent persons in the mother country. If any im-
pressions of this kind still exist, it is hoped that the
circulation of this work, and the diffusion of the statis-
tical information contained in it, may not be wholly
ineffectual in removing them. “ It is quite unneces-
sary ” said Hon. Mr. Evanturel, ex-minister of Agri-
culture and Statistics, “to dwell at any length upon
“the great value of a systematic collection of facts in
“ figures, or statistics, in tho administration of the
“affairs of the Stale, for the furtherance of political
“ science, and for the general information of the couu-
“try. Its importance is now universally aeknow-
“ lodged ; and it is certainly a matter for much regret
“ that in the collection and analysis of statistical
“ information, Canada, at the present moment, stands
« f ar behind most civilized countries.”

GENERAL STATEMENT EOR 1862.
The following is extracted from the report

Minister of Finance, submitted April 6, lood.
The total expenditure of the *
year 1862, including payments
on account of redemption of

public debt, amounted to

The total receipts 10,629,^04

in the cash balances and bankers ac-
counts. ii

tures redeemed $2*9,600

The net receipts are reduced to

To bring out this result, the undersigned has pro-
ceeded upon a principle different from tnat which has
ordinarily governed the official statement of the finan-
cial position of the Province at the close of each year.
Adopting the accounts for 1861 as an example, it may
be remarked that, had the balance sheet tor that year
been constructed on the basis accepted by the under-
signed, it would have stood as follows :

Total expenditure •••“•• * * 814, <42,834

And less sum paid on account

3,802,876

11,824,017

8,852,705

Actual deficiency in 1861 $2,971,311

It will be seen that the undersigned has proceeded
on the assumption that, from one source or another,
the Province should, year alter year, meet its expen-
diture, whatever that is ; the only allowable exceptions
being expenditure incurred in the construction of im-
portant public works, permanent, and, it may be, remu-
nerative in their character, and payments on account
of engagements already contracted, and standing in
the shape of actual debt. He has consequently ab-
stained from making several deductions which it lias
been usual to make in the statement of the yearly defi-
ciency. He has preferred to stale it as it really is,
that the Province may understand the full extent of
the demand upon its resources which it may properly
be called to meet. Thus, from the gross expenditure
and receipts he has taken the redemption of debt and
the issue of debentures, and also such receipts and
repayments as were on account of redemption, which,
had they come into the same year, would not have
appeared at all. He has further'deducted investments
realized, which may be generally characterized as in
tact equivalent only to a transfer from one banking

to another The result he calls the net expen-
ditTe and rte net receipts the difference between
which forms the actual deficit of the year, which we
must provide for either by borrowing or by increasing
the revenue. The borrowing process baa unfortunately
been employed too generally and too long, encourag-
ing unnecessary expenditure, and relieving the com-
munity from the burdens which it should he made to
bear as the consequence of its own acts. The time
has come when another method must ot necessity be
pursued . Instead of taxing our credit, and so trans-
ferring burdens from ourselves to posterity, it is desi-
rable that we should now tax our available resources
to an extent indicated by the deficiency ; and the first
step towards the change is to present the true result
of the year's financial transactions, that the entire
deficiency may be known. . . . ,

Referring to the items composing the pnncipal
sources from which the ordinary income of the Pro-
vince is derived, the undersigned may remark, that
although the receipts from customs duties have not
quite realized the expectations he entertained in May
last, it is satisfactory to know that the changes then
made in the tariff led to a large increase m the revenue
during the latter half of the year. In the first halt
there was a deficiency, as compared with the receipts
in the corresponding period of 1861, amounting to
$439 724, whilst the increase in the second half amount-
ed to $317,345, showing a falling off in the receipts of
the year of only $122,379. The excise revenue exhibits
an increase in the year of $155,648, the receipts of
the first six months amounting to $188,604, or an in-
crease of $39,112; and during the second six months
to $311,708, or an increase of $116,476. The latter in-
crease was not proportionate to the augmentation of
duties under the legislation of the last session ; a cir-
cumstance which may be explained by referenceto the
fact that, the intention to levy higher duties was known
considerably in advance of the legislative action, and
that the manufacturers interested were therefore stim-
ulated to produce largely prior to the imposition of
the new duties. The item of ocean postage exhibits a
diminution which may seem remarkable without a
word in explanation. The receipts from this source
were only $17,274 in 1862; a decrease which is mainly
attributable to the non-payment by the Government of
the United States of the sums due the Province, for
postal services rendered within the year. The differ-
ence should, perhaps, be set down as a payment deter-

rotlinr fliOYl Oil aA+.USll OflT. 1

red, rather than an actual falling off. Apart from this
item, the Post Office receipts advanced fre

i m j n L • i A 07 T >1

item, tne I'osi vmice ructjjpus nubru from $357,015
to $391,443, being an increase of $34,427- Public Works
again yielded $305,658, which, as compared with the
receipts in 1861, shows an increase of $37,573; the sums
stated being exclusive of tolls refunded, amounting m
1862 to $78,046. The Territorial Revenue declined from
$678,922, in 1861, to $629,886 in 1862.

Turning to the expenditure side of the account, the
inability of Government to effect sndden and very
large reductions becomes apparent. Over the greater
proportion of the expenditure, Ministers exercise
little or no control. Speaking roundly, more than
one half of the whole is in fulfilment of obligations
already incurred. Other large amounts are expended
in pursuance of engagements which cannot be sum-
marily terminated. And yet another large expend-
iture takes place under annual grants of the Legisla-
ture, to which the Government of the day simply gives
effect. Time, and the substitution of a more whole-
some system of financial management, are required to
bring about marked reductions in these branches ot
the expenditure.

What may justly be classed as Administrative ex-
penses, amounted in 1862 to $2,079,278, to which, per-
haps, should be added $1,326,732, expended under the
head of Collections. The charges against Civil Govern-
ment advanced from $437,285, in 1861, to $486,620, m
1862. But the increase is susceptible of ready explan-
ation. The operation of the Civil Service Act en-
tailed an increase in the shape of arrears and additions
to salaries exceeding $21,000; very large amounts
were paid at the commencement of the year for
contingencies; and there are charges amounting to
$10,943, which formerly appeared under other heads-

The Penitentiary and Prison expenses show an in-
crease from $148,046 to $165,612 ; but of the latter sum,
about $10,000 aro chargeable to the Reformatory at
Penetanguishene, which, though established in 1861,

did not come into full operation until 1862

Reverting to the statement of the net expenditure
and incoihe, it is the duty of the undersigned to ex-
plain that the actual deficiency of the year was met
as follows:

Debentures issued $1,796,517

Investment realized 201,299

Changes in cash and bankers’ balances 766,719

_ . . $2,764,535

The amount which is shewn to be due the London
Agents of the Province, ($2,254,258) was increased to
the extent of $876,000, by the payment on their part,
in 1862, of that amount, which was borrowed in 1861,
from the City Bank of London.

Of the debentures issued, the sum of $773,900 was in
Exchequer bills, negotiated in the Province; and
$1,446,860 were Sterling debentures, issued in England.

The addition to the funded debt during the year,
amounted to $1,940,929, and to the net debt, after
deducting sinking lund, to $1,773,954. The former now
amounts to $67,567,407, and the net debt, after the de-
duction indicated, to $59,946,973.

The Report of the Board of Audit shows that from
1856 to 1862, inclusive, the increase in the funded
debt was $21,712,190. Within the same term, the in-
crease to the net funded debt was $16,703,810, being an
average yearly increase to the latter of $2,387,258. It
will be seen, therefore, that the addition to the fund-
ed debt in 1862, was much less (viz., $1,773,954,) than
the. average yearly addition during the period over
which the comparison extends.

The continuance of the civil war in the United States,
with which Canada has such intimate and extended
commercial relations, has necessarily operated pre-
judicially upon our finances during the year to which
this report refers. A diminished demand for our
staple products has produced a corresponding check
upon the purchasing power of our people, and a cor-
responding loss to the principal sources of our revenue.
These tendencies have heen widened and strengthened
by the derangement in the currency of our neigh-
bors, creating, as it has done, irregularity and uncer-
tainty in the various branches of industry and com-
merce, and bringing certain of them within very nar-
row compass. So long as these disturbing influences
exist, we cannot anticipate an increase of our reve-
nues to the extent which, under more auspicious cir-
cumstances, we might confidently expect.

Notwithstanding these unfavorable causes, however,
the undersigned sees nothing in the general monetary
and business position of the Province to warrant mis-
givings or despondency as to its future. The trade of
the year has been contracted ; but that is all. No crisis
has occurred to jeopardize its progress. Although
limited, it lias been conducted on a sound basis, and is
now in a healthy condition. The undersigned feels no
apprehension, therefore, with regard to the willingness
or the power of the Province to sustain just and well-
considered measures for preserving public credit unim-
paired, and for adjusting its income and expenditure
on the only basis which is compatible with economy
in administration, and lasting prosperity in public af-

Extractsfrom the Report of the Board of Audit, referred
to above.

there appears no longer any reason why the two should
be kept separate. This was, in fact, the course which
was pursued when the Indian fund came under the con-
trol of the Provincial Government, the Province assum-
ingthe responsibility of all the former investments and
holding them for the Consolidated fund ; and the same
reasons apply with still greater force to the other
Trust funds, which have always been managed, and
the investments made, by the Provincial authorities.
The amount for which we have become thus liable
to the ordinary Trust funds, in 1862, has been $8,100.

There has been a further redemption of Lake St.
Peter debentures during the past year, to the extent of
$54,600, which has been treated, like the previous pay-
ments, as an advance to the Harbor Commissioners,
there being no Legislative authority for the assumption
of the debt. It is, however, well understood that Par-
liament did in effect sanction the arrangement made
with the Commissioners ; and we would respectfully
submit, that provision should be made for carrying it
out in the estimates of the current year.

We have added to the Public Accounts a statement
intended to embrace similar payments, which have
been made without direct authority of the Legislature.
The ordinary statement of unprovided items has not
been interfered with, as they are annually submitted
to Parliament, and a vote is taken in the estimates to
make good the expenditure. But besides these, there
are often sums advanced, which it is not intended to
provide for by a subsequent vote charging them to
Consolidated fund ; but which have to be re-paid here-
after by the parties to whom the advance was made.
It appears desirable that all payments of this character
should be submitted in one view, instead of being scat-
tered under different heads in the general details of
expenditure. This statement will embrace all loans,
whether they are only temporary, and to be re-paid,
or whether they are in the nature of investments in
securities, or of advances made to Trust funds beyond
the amount at their credit, to be covered hereafter by
the revenues of the fund.

We had expected to have been able to have closed
the account of the Seigniorial fund, and to have made
all those alterations in the Municipal Loan funds, East
and West, and in the U. C. Building fund, which
would be consequent upon the final settlement of that
account; but we are not as yet in possession of the
necessary data, and in the meantime this fund has been
treated as formerly.

t We have thought that in the present financial posi-
tion of the Province, it might be satisfactory to submit
a comparative view of the increase of the debt for some
years back. Such large additions to it were made from
1852 to 1855, for Railway enterprises and the Municipal
Loan funds, that, for the purpose of comparison, it ap-
pears to us that it will be more useful to confine our-
selves to the years subsequent to the latter date, which
alone are included in the following tables. Some diffi-
culty presents itself as to the mode of representing the
true indebtedness of the country, and we have, there-
fore, given it in three different forms.

I. Statement of the funded debt, embracing all de-
bentures, whether chargeable against the Province
directly, or against any fund under the Provincial
control :

1858 54,892,405 | 1862 67,567,407

The Public Accounts for the year 1862 present few
important features which call for remark, excepting
the falling off in almost every branch of the revenue,
a result which had been anticipated from the general
disturbance of all commercial relations on the North
American continent.

The interest upon some of the securities held in the
Trust Fund Investment account, has fallen into arrears ;
and as itU considered that the funds, on behalf of which
the securities were taken, should not be the sufferers,
we have j een instructed to give th6m credit for the
whole interest accrued, and to open accounts against
the defaulters for the deficiency. The principle thus
established, which appears to be only just, places the
Trust Fund Investment account upon the same footing
as the Consolidated Fund Investment account; and

present means of meeting it. The unfunded debt ,, and
the available assets, must also be . U^v PvUt as to
ation; and, as differences of on eHhS

the items which should properly be mc^donenh^
side of the account, we desire to explain the P ri °cipies
\inon which we have prepared the third comparativ e
table.— We have included amongst our 1 ^of Th^Pro-*
tiling which appears as .!“ c ^. ll J s w^have excluded

SoSdS fund P wS s^ e on'thaTs!de of
the balance sheet, and all other a “«“"»f ‘Jj ac-

other party than the Province is interested , sjicn ac
counts being in fact branches of the Consolidated fund,
Sh for special reasons arc kept under separate
heads. 2nd. We have excluded any account hv whhl
we appear to be debtors to any party, when there is a
larger amount at the debit of the same P ^ &
winch we are authorized to set it off. 3id. We nave
excluded two of the Trust funds. The S

fund differs from all other ^ funds, inasmuch as theie
no expenditure chargeable against it, it is, in tact,
onlv a branch of the Consolidated fund, and the only
obiect in keeping it separate as a constantly aecumulat-
inTfund (o? the policy of which we, entertain great
defubts) is as a sort of pledge to posterity, that we wi
never spend less than the Merest
whilst we always have expended for
eight times as much as its income can ^ v er a m o un p to.
The Seigniorial fund, as it is called, has been omitted,
partly because it is more in the nature ^

non, and partly because it was treated differently m
different years of the period under consideration , but
principally because the fund, as it stands in i the books
only very partially represents the liabih^ of the Pro-
vince in this respect, from the legislation of 18o4 and
1859. Had we treated it as a Trust lund, it would have
.appeared as if our liability had beon annually dimin-
ishing, and had now nearly ceased, from the exhaus-
tion of the fund, whereas it remains exactly what t
was at the passing of the Seigniorial acts. The gi adual
increase of the debt has arisen from the excess of ex-
penditure over income, amongst w'h ^h expen aiture
that for the Seigniorial tenure is included ; and it will
continue henceforward a permanent charge, not pro-
bably much less than the average annual expenditure
on that account since 1855. The compensation tor the
Seigniorial tenure has not therefore sens lb 1 y affec ted
the increase of our liabilities since 1855, but it does
materially add to the permanent annual expenditure
to which we became virtually liable in 1854, and which
was confirmed by the Act of 1859. This annual expen-
diture, to which we are pledged, m ay Jbe estimatea to
represent a capital of not less than $4,000,000, by which
our net liabilities in all these years should be increased.

Amongst the assets we have included the cash and
banking accounts, and amounts due to us, which we
may make a set-off against amounts included in tlie
liabilities as due by us to the same parties. As to other
assets which appear as such in the books, it would not
be proper for us to pronounce an opinion as to which
we may expect to realize, and w hich may be looked
upon as bad debts; we have therefore, only included
the Sinking funds, and the Trust fund, and Conso-
lidated fund investment accounts — on account of
which we hold securities. These we have assumed to
be all available; and if the failure to pay interest,
above alluded to, may throw a doubt upon some of the
investments, there are, on the other hand, unsecured
debts due to us wliich.will certainly be available, but
which are left out of the account. Upon the whole,
we believe the amount of available assets to be some-
what understated. If in the year 1862 there were in-
vestments which yielded no interest (in some cases
certainly only temporarily) to the amount of $391,333,
there were also unsecured debts in the same year to
the amount of $767,227, having permanent receipts
connected with them under our control from wdiich
we received, besides full interest on the debt, $98,393
in reduction of the principal. These are, therefore,
solvent debtors, and more than equivalent to the in-
vestments of a doubtful character.

Expenditure on account of Public Works of

$5,980,740

Leaving $14,422,558, or an average annual increase of
indebtedness of $2,060,365, which appears to represent
the excess of ordinary expenditure over ordinary in-
come. We have not included m the above deductions
from the gross increase, the expenditure on account of
the redemption of the Seigniorial tenure, amounting
in all to $1,629,057, or averaging $232,^ per annum;
because, although tlie Act of 1854 authorized capital to
about tli at amount to be raised by the issue ol deben-
tures, subsequent legislation has entailed upon the
Province a permanent annual expenditure of nearly
equal amount.

Assuming the increase of our liability since 1855 to
be as above stated, it is important to observe that the
annual interest payable has not increased in the same
ratio. The interest at the two periods was as follows:

1855- lbv^i

Payable on Funded debt $2,575,120 $3,504,727

Paid on Unfunded debt 4,296 2&W&

Payable to Trust funds • do,3»»

$2,579,416 $3,798,893
103,402 394,745

Received on investments and

deposits

Net interest $2,476,013 $3,404,148

The difference, $928,135, at 5 per cent., only represents
an increase of debt of $18,562,701, and as we have only
given credit for the interest actually received, this
fatter estimate is independent of the doubtful charac-
ter of some of the investments.

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION' — CANADA,

[1864. B. N. A.

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION— CANADA.

The total value of the imports in 1862 was $48, 600,633,
being an increase of $5,545,797 over the value in 1861.
The value of dutiable poods in 1862 was $23,971,370,
bein" a decrease of $1,123,378 from the value in 1861.
The customs receipts in 1862 were $4,652,748, being
$115,444 less tlian in 1861. The falling off, which oc-
curred chiefly during the first six months of 1862, was
attributed by the Finance Minister to the continuance
of the civil war in the United States, and more espe-
cia'ly to the apprehensions excited by the “Trent ”
affair. The increased value of the total imports m
1862 was, therefore, altogether due to the importation
of free goods, of which the value in 1862 was $24,624,-
263. being an increase of $6,664,175 over the value in
1861. Of this increase, $2,130,054 was due to imports
of naval and militarv stores, and clothing; $679,105 to
unmanufactured tobacco, and $2,886,571 to the in-
creased importation of cereals. The duty collected on
spirits and malt liquors in 1862 was $480,848, an increase
of $194,901 over that collected the preceding year.

The value of exports in 1862 was $33,596,125, a de-
crease of $3,018,070, compared with 1861. This falling
off was owing to the deficiency of the harvest in 1862,
the decrease in exports of wheat alone being $2,119,-
519, and in flour $770,581.

The movement of property on the Welland and the
St. Lawrence canals shows a steady increase. The
movement on the Welland canal increased in 1861 by
7 1 per cent, over 1860; and in 1862 by 15 per cent, over
1861. On the St. Lawrence canals, the movement of
tonnage increased in 1861 bv 22 percent, over 1860, and
in 1862 bv 6 per cent, over 1861. Hon. W. 1*. Howland,
the lute Minister of Finance, in his report for 1862, ad-
duced comparative tables of the movements of pro-
duce to show that in proportion to the greatly in-
creased production of cereals in the Western States,
and to the whole volume of agricultural produce moved
from Lakes Erie and Michigan to tide water, Canada
had not obtained so large a traffic since the removal of
the canal tolls, as prior to the adoption of that meas-
ure. His report concluded with the following words:

“Whatever else may be urged in favor of free
canals, it certainly cannot be said that the policy of
1860 has been productive of benefit, either to the pro-
ducer or consumer of Western breadstuff’s; and from
the advance which has taken place in the freights by
the St. Lawrence route, as well as in both tolls and
freight, by the competing route to tide water at Albany,
it is abundantly manifest that the forwarder can pav a
moderate toll without unduly trenching upon his profits.
It can be shown from reliable data that in so far as the
actual cost of transport (including therein the canal tolls
recently imposed) is concerned, western produce can
be carried to tide water much cheaper by the St.
Lawrence than by any competing route; and we must
trace our failure to obtain for our canals a greater
proportion of the western trade, to other causes than
the charges heretofore imposed for the use of those
works. I am persuaded that the chief cause of that
failure lies in the absence of sufficient competition
among forwarders engaged in the St. Lawrence trade, in
the financial relations between shippers engaged in the
western trade and the capitalists of New York, and
finally and chiefly in the lower rates of ocean freights
from New York to Europe, occasioned by the greater
competition at that port than is to be found at Quebec
or Montreal. It is gratifying to know that the Cana-
dian forwarder has been able to obtain the advanced
rates above quoted, but we cannot find therein a jus-
tification of that policy which, in addition to other ad-
vantages, would give him the free use of costly works
which complete the grandest system of inland navi-
gation in the world, and have not been constructed
without imposing heavy burthens on the country. If
it could be shown that the tolls remitted had gone in
mitigation of the comparatively high rate of ocean
freight to which our trade is subject, We might find in
that fact some reason for making our canals absolutely
free. But it has been shown that this has not been the
result. The tolls have gone to enhance the profits of
the forwarder whose freight tariff has been regulated,
not by the cost of doing his work, but by the com-
petition with which ho has had to contend. There is
but one course open for securing that quota of the

western trade which the advantages of the St. Law*
rence route gives us reason to anticipate. If we can
give to the owners of the largest vessels now profi-
ts blv engaged in the trade of Lake Michigan, the op-
tion of trading to Kingston and the St. Lawrence or
to Buffalo, as may bo found most profitable, wc shall
have thrown down the barrier which now forces the
main current of trade into the Erie canal. We shall
have more than balanced the greater insurance and
freights charged from our sea ports to Europe over
the corresponding charges from New York, and we
may thereafter expect Quebec and Montreal to take
rank amongst the greatest grain marts of this conti-
nent."

The canal tolls were subsequently (in 1863) re-im-
posed.

Colonization roads , U.C. These are roads opened
through unoccupied lands of the Crowm for the pur-
pose of promoting their settlement. Free grant lots, of
100 acres each, are laid out on both sides of the road.
The roads have cost from $300 to $800 per mile, ac-
cording to the character of the surface, and the difficul-
ties of construction. As a general rule, it is expected
that, when once constructed, the statutelabor and that
required of the free grant settlers will be sufficient to
keep them in repair. The first departmental super-
vision of colonization roads was exercised by the
commissioner of Crown Lands; in 1854, the control
was vested in the Bureau of Agriculture, but in 1862,
tlie charge reverted to the Crown Lands department.
The legislative grants for colonization roads, U.C., from
1852 to 1862 inclusive, amounted to $595,000. Besides
the free grant colonization roads, many other roads of
greater or less length, chiefly in the western counties

Colonization roads, L. C . — The duty of locating and
constructing the roads in L. C. has been assigned to
the Bureau of Agriculture, but the supervision of set-

ment. I lie siim of $200,000 was appropriated in 1862
for the advancement of colonization, of which half was
expended in Lower Canada. It w'as suggested that
the Lower Province should be divided into five large
territorial sections, in which a system of separate op-
erations should be carried on for the opening up of
main colonization roads. These sections are : 1st. Gas-

The whole quantity of land sold during 1862 was less
by 252,471 acres than that sold in 1861. The falling off
was attributed by the Commissioner partly to the de-
rangements occasioned by the American civil war,
and partly to the fact that the best Crown Lands, in
both sections of the Province, have already been sold.
The new surveys in U. C. have added during the last 5
years 2,808,172 acres to the land roll of the department,
and in L. C. 1,968,168 acres, yet it is considered
doubtful whether there are now as many acres of
wild land of the first quality at the disposal of the de-
partment as there were in 1857. The Clergy, School,
and Crown Lands of the Western peninsula — the most
desirable as to quality and situation— have been nearly
all sold, and the few lots remaining are generally of
inferior quality. “The new townships between the
Ottawa and Lake Huron,” says the report of the Com-
missioner, “contain much good land, but thev are
separated from the settled townships on the St. Law-
rence and North shore of Lake Ontario, bv a rocky,
barren tract, which varies in width from 10 to 20 miles,
and presents a serious obstruction to the influx of set-
tlers. Moreover, the good land in these new townships
is composed of small tracts, here and there, separated
from each other by rockv ridges, swamps, and lakes,
which render difficult the construction of roads, and
interrupt the continuity of settlement. These unfavor-
able circumstances have induced the better class of
settlers in Upper Canada to seek, at the hands of pri-
vate owners, for lands of a better quality and more
desirable location, though the price and terms of sale
are more onerous than for the lands of the Crown.”
The quantity of land sold in L. C. during 1862, was
more than double that disposed of in U. C. The discov-
ery of copper and other minerals in the Eastern town-
ships caused a considerable influx of population in that
direction, aud a corresponding increase in the demand

for unsold public lands. The new surveys on the
Southern slope of the high lands, bordering the St.
Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal, developed a
considerable quantity of good land, which is rapidly
being taken up.

Under the authority of an Order in Council of 12th
Sept. 1862, hon. Win. McDougall, Commissioner of
Crown Lands, proceeded to the Island of Manitoulin,
in Lake Huron, and concluded a treaty with the In-
dians residing there for the surrender of their claims
to that portion of the island westerly of Manitoulin
gulf and Hey wood sound. An exploratory survey was
subsequently made by Mr. Dennis. From the report
of this gentleman it appears that the growth of timber
throughout, except where the flat rock approaches the
surface, is magnificent. The groves of maple in some
of the sugar bushes, especially around the larger lakes,
surpassed anything of the kind the surveyor had pre-
viously seen. The soil is generally a sandy or gravelly
loam, underlaid with clay. It is very fertile and well
suited for the growth of wheat. The total number of
acres cleared and partly under cultivation by the In-
dians on the portion ceded was 2,450. The portion of
the island ceded, best suited for settlement, is the cen-
tral and wide part extending westerly from Manitou*
awning to Lake Wolsey.

The .1 fac/dalen Islands, situated in the gulf of St.
Lawrence, are within 50 miles from Prince Edward
Island, and 85 from the Island of Anticosti. The
highest land is about 170 feet above the sea; some
parts of the rocky margins are about 600 feet in
height. These Islands were granted in 1798 to Admi-
ral .Sir Isaac Coffin, and are entailed to his descendants,
who lease them for a nominal sum for fishing and
farming purposes. In 1763 their population numbered
only about ten families; in 1798 the population was
about 500, chiefly Acadian French ; in 1830 about 1,000,
and in 1861 the islands contained about 2,659 persons.
In 1861 they produced 8,531 bushels oats; 4,196 barley;
1,262 wheat; and 21,637 bushels potatoes; 2,731 tons
hay; the stock was valued at $48,849. The fisheries
gave employment to 38 schooners, 232 boats, and 574
nets. The exports in 1851 were valued at $19,564; in
1856, $82,952; in 1857, $153.0-2; and in 1860, $270,000.
The imports in the same years were valued at $5,684;
$34,212; $41,880; and $45,200 respectively. The amount
of duties collected in 1860 was $6,070. In 1854, 104 ves-
sels entered at the ports of these islands; in 1860, 250
vessels — total tonnage 10,000 tons — manned by 1373 men.
Their trade is principally with the Lower Provinces.

PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA.

[1864. B. N. A.

PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA.

Inland Navigation .— Canada is famous for her noble
rivers, her great lakes and vast .system of canals. The
waters of the St. Lawrence, flowing for more than 600
miles entirely within the Province, drain an extent of
territory larger than France; and the great lakes, of
which this liver forms the natural outlet to the ocean,
exceed in superficies the area of Great Britain, and
comprehend more than half the fresh water of the
globe. The coast line of these lakes and the St. Law-
rence measures 5,600 miles; about one half of which
is American, (fronting upon 8 of the Northern States
of the Union) and the other half Canadian territory.
Upwards of fourteen millions of dollars were expended
in opening this channel to the navigation of vessels of
400 tons burden. It was expected that by this means
the commercial advantages of this route to the ocean
would be made so great as to draw through it the
Western trade; and that the tolls to be collected on
this trade would not only pay the interest upon the
cost of the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals, but also
prove a source of permanent revenue to the Province;
and that, as trade increased, the large amount of the
tolls would admit of a gradual reduction in customs
duties. Before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825,
the trade of the country bordering upon the river and
upper lakes found its way to the ocean by Montreal
and Quebec; but upon the opening of that canal the
Western produce was at once diverted to the other
side of the boundary line, and taken to New York;
and, notwithstanding the heavy expense incurred by
Canada in the construction of canals with the object
of providing a cheaper and more direct channel, and
thus obtaining a larger share of the Western trade,
her efforts have been less successful than was antici-
pated. In 1861, the bulk of property transported both
ways upon the Erie Canal amounted to 4,507, 635 tons,
of the value of $130,000,00.0, and yielding to the State
in tolls, a revenue of nearly $4,000,000. The bulk of
property transported both ways by the St. Lawrence
route amounted, in 1861, to 1,020,483 tons for the Wel-
land, and 886,908 through the St. Lawrence, and had
the usual tolls of former years been imposed, the rev-
enue would have amounted to $392,289, only a little over
one-tenth of that collected upon the Erie Canal.

With the view of regaining the Western trade, the
government, by an order in council, dated 28th May
I860, but taking effect the 19th May, abolished the tolls
on the Provincial canals, under certain regulations,
viz.: that vessels passing through the Welland Canal
should continue to pay tolls according to existing
tariffs, but that 90 per cent, of the tolls so paid should
be refunded whenever such vessel entered the St. Law-
rence Canal, or reported inward at any Canadian port
on Lake Ontario or on the river St.. Lawrence; and
vice versa — vessels and their cargoes coming up
through the St. Lawrence Canals, or hailing from any
Canadian port, and passing upwards through the
Welland Canal, paid only 10 per cent, of the toll
established on that canal. The St. Lawrence Canals
were made unconditionally free from tolls: it was
thought that this policy would have the effect of
diverting through Canada a much larger share of
the Western trade, and that the increase of revenue
from custom duties, and other incidental advantages
derived from this trade, would more than compensate
for the loss of revenue from tolls, which was then
estimated at not more than $115,000. This expedient
was tried for three years, and in the report of the com-
missioner of public works for 1862, (from which the
above statements are derived), it is inferred, from com-
parative tables of tonnage before and since the change,
that it has proved ineffectual. The most remarkable
increase was found in the business of the Erie Canal
on which tolls were still collected. In 1862, it had
^ a 1 C o O e n 1 J l i e ,? n0r , m0UR amount of 5,598,785 tons, and
$0,188,943 tolls; shewing an increase of 32 per cent on
tonnage, and 56 per cent, on tolls, over the maximum
of the former period. On the other hand, the business
on the Provincial Canals in the third year of trial had
actually fallen off on the St. Lawrence. The attempt
to divert trade by reducing tolls, had therefore, in the
opinion of the commissioner, proved unsuccessful, and
it was a matter for consideration whether it was expe-
dient any longer to tax the Province for the benefit of

this trade, or whether that portion of it which took
this channel, and must continue to increase with the
growth and population of the country, should not be
rendered immediately productive by the re-imposition
of tolls. It was represented that the revenue which
would be derived from the re-imposition of tolls would
suffice in the course of a few years to make some of the
most important improvements in the navigation which
had been in contemplation for many years past, and
had only been postponed from financial considerations.
Amongst the most essential of these improvements was
the enlargement of the locks, and the deepening of the
channel of the $t. Lawrence Canals. While the locks
of the Welland Canal were smaller than those of the
St. Lawrence, and could not, therefore pass vessels of
half the tonnage capacity of the latter, the diaught
of water through the Welland was one foot greater
than through the St. Lawrence, and, consequently
vessels which could pass through the former drawing
10 feet of water, and laden with 400 tons freight, actu-
ally could not descend the 8t. Lawrence without being
lightened one foot equivalent to about 100 tons cargo.
This anomaly had produced such a serious drawback as
frequently to induce transhipment at Kingston. This
transshipment, it was said, could only be obviated
by establishing a uniform scale of navigation, the im-
mediate adoption of which was urgently demanded by
the rapid increase of the Western trade. The entrances
to the Williamsburg and Cornwall Canals, especially,
did not afford a sufficient volume of water for their
satisfactory working. The chief engineer in 1859 esti-
mated the cost of deepening the St. Lawrence Canals
to lOj feet of water at $1,028,000, an estimate which
did not include the lengthening of the locks. We may
add here that the government have been induced by
the considerations adverted to above, and especially in
view of the deficit in the revenue, to re-impose the
canal tolls.

Welland Canal .— The banks of this canal have been
raised and strengthened, to maintain them in a con-
dition of safety for the passage of deeply laden vessels;
but in consequence of the continual wearing away of
these banks from rains, and the heavy traffic on them,
a certain amount of expenditure is requisite every year
to preserve them in a safe condition. The navigation
of this canal in 1862, opened loth April, and closed
15th December. The number of sailing vessels and
steamers which passed through the canal during the
last nine years was, in 1854, 3,690; 1855,3,816; 1856,
3,885; 1857,3,604; 1858,3,726; 1859,2,589; 1860, 3,744;
1861,4,315; 1862,4,899.

Williamsburg Canals . — These canals are constructed
chiefly by cutting off points of the River St. Lawrence
along its north snore, and enclosing large bays at the
mouths of creeks and streams, and the embankments
by which this was effected, are exposed to the action
of the rapid current outside; and from the great width
of included water surface at many places, they have
suffered from the surf raised by high winds. The
inner face of the embankments having been left unpro-
tected, it was found necessary in order to prevent
serious damage to them from the causes described,
as well as from the surge of steamers passing through
the canals, to line their inner face w'itn stone, and also
to raise them and protect the most exposed portions on
the side next the river. The navigation in 1862 was
open from 29th April to 4th Dec.

Rideau Canal . — With the exception of about4 miles
at the lower outlet, the line of this canal follows the
old bed of the Rideau for nearly the whole distance
between Ottawa and the summit level. The sudden
thaw which took place in April 1862 caused great
damage to the works. The cost of repairs and main-
tenance for 1862 exceeded $60,000.

Lake St. Peter . — The formation of a ship channel
through this lake was first undertaken by the Govern-
ment as a public work. After an expenditure of £73,558
in providing an outfit and prosecuting the works for
four seasons, 1844, 45, 46. and 47, the steamers, dredging
vessels, machinery, tools and implements, constructed
or acquired for effecting the improvement, were made
over to the Montreal Harbor Commissioners by the

PUBLIC WORKS — CANADA

Act of 1850, for the purpose of enabling them to deep-
en the channel through the lake to 16 feet draught at
low water. By the same and subsequent Acts, the
Harbor Commissioners were authorized to raise in all
the sum of £170,000, and this debt was assumed by the
Government under the order in Council of 18th April
1861. The Harbor Commissioners also received £16,000
appropriated in 1860. With this money they succeeded
in clearing a channel of 300 feet in width and 20 feet
depth at low water, between Montreal and the lake,
through the natural obstructions presented at Point
aux Trembles, Vercheres, and Lavaltrie. In the lake
they have dredged a channel 11-1 miles in length and
from 250 to 350 feet in width, with a clear draught
through it of 17 feet 3 inches at the period of ordinary
low water of 11 feet upon the flats, according to their
Engineer’s survey, but of 18 feet according to that of
Commander Orlebar, R. N. The quantity of excavation
from the channel in 1862 was 156,850 cubic yards, leav-
ing 864,172 cubic yards to be taken out, in order to
complete the channel through the lake to the uniform
width of 300 feet, and 20 feet in depth at the period of
low water.

Ottawa Works— From the Upper Ottawa 326,781
pieces of square timber passed the Chaudtere Slides
in 1862, and about 90,000 saw logs arrived at the station
the same year. From the Gatineau River, 9,251 pieces
of square timber, and 154,918 saw logs were brought
down. The tolls on all this property amounted to
$49,000.

Light- Houses . — Within the past few years, ten new
light-houses have been constructed on the coasts and
islands of the lower St. Lawrence. Four of these are
leading sea lights of a superior class, two situated at the
upper entrance of the Gulf, the third on the Strait of
Belleisle, and the fourth on the south-west point of the
Island of Belleisle, at the southern entrance of the strait.
Although the marking out of the head-lands, points
and shoals has greatly contributed to the safe navi-
gation of the ocean route of the St. Lawrence, much
yet remains to be done to enable mariners to avoid
the dangers by which it still continues to be beset.
Some years ago the Chief Engineer of the Public
Works Department made a thorough examination of
all the sites where the erection of lighthouses had been
recommended by shipowners, masters of vessels, and
others interested in the safe navigation of the St.
Lawrence; and, in 1859, he submitted a report descrip-
tive of these places. The most important of these
were: the Bird Rocks in the gulf; and the south-
west point of Newfoundland, in the vicinity of Cape
Ray, where lights are required to indicate two dan-
gerous points on the channel south-west of Newfound-
land ; and at Cape Whittle.

a special commission of inquiry into matters connected
with them; and under these circumstances it was
deemed unadvisable to resume the works. It is now
considered that the buildings may be completed in time
for the session of Parliament in 1865. The buildings
are constructed of a light colored sandstone. The walls
are relieved with cut stone dressings of Devonian sand-
stone from Ohio, and by red sandstone relieving arches
from Potsdam, N. Y. The roofs are slated with purple
and green, and the pinnacles ornamented with wrought
iron cresting. The style of architecture is the Italian
Gothic. Upwards of $1,000,000 has been already ex-
pended on these buildings, and it has been estimated
that the sum required to complete them would sullice
to erect suitable buildings on a less pretending scale.

Provincial Roads — Considerable sums are annually
expended in the maintenance of roads from the St.
Lawrence to New Brunswick, and others. In 1862, the
sum of $6,131 was paid for keeping up theTemiscouata
road during the months of January, February and
March, for the passage of her Majesty’s troops. The
Metapedia road, is said in the Commissioner's report, to
form an important means of communication between
Canada and New Brunswick, not only as regards the
military defence of the country, but also on account
of the advantage it affords of a highway for the vast
district of Gasp6 and the Baie des Chaleurs.

Provincial Steamers . — The government recently
decided to sell these vessels. They performed the ser-
vice of protecting the fisheries; the service of the light-
houses, buoys, and beacons under the Trinity House;
the postal service to the lower ports, &c.

Public Buildings . — The sum of $4,141 was expended
on the Montreal Court House in 1862, for repairs to the
roof, masons’ work, and ventilation of sheriff's offices.
The Commissioner’s report recommended the erection
of a work-shed within the yard of the Montreal Gaol,
for the shelter of the convicts while employed at manual
labor ; and also an addition to the central wing of the
building, to accommodate 160 prisoners. The expense
of these improvements was estimated at $48,472.

Ottawa Buildings . — In the prosecution of these
buildings, a great quantity of work unprovided for in
the estimates having been proceeded with, the original
appropriation was largely exceeded, and it was consi-
dered proper to suspend further operations in October
1861. On the 27th J une 1862, thego vernment appointed

AGRICULTURE— CANADA.

The Department of Agriculture has been considered
of so much importance in Canada that it has been
placed under the special management of a member of
the Executive Council. It includes the subjects of
Colonization, Immigration, Statistics, and Arts and
Inventions.

The institution of Provincial Exhibitions has had
highly satisfactory results. These exhibitions annually
gratify the public with displays of implements and ma-
chinery, more and more perfect, produce and manufac-
tures of great variety ana excellence, and cattle of new
and superior breeds. The cattle breeders of Canada
do not hesitate to compete with those of the United
States, and occasionally carry off the highest prizes
from their American rivals. “No other country m the
world, except England,” said the minister of agricul-
ture in his report for 1862, “can bring together so re-
markable a collection of cattle of the best breeds.”
The time may not be far distant when the farmers of
Canada, incited by a spirit of patriotic emulation, will

accomplish results as brilliant as those witnessed at the
shows of the Royal Agricultural Society of the mother
country.

In the McGill and Upper Canada Universities, the
Normal schools of both sections of the Province, the
Colleges of St. Anne, St. Th<Sr6se, and Rimouski, and
many others, courses of agricultural instruction have
been established, and various facilities are afforded to
students in the pursuit of this branch of knowledge.
Agricultural museums have been established at Mont-
real and Toronto, and useful information is diffused by
the publication of agricultural journals. There is a
Board of Agriculture for each section of the Province.
That of Upper Canada, during six weeks of the winter,
gives a gratuitous course of lectures on agriculture,
which is attended by farmers desirous of acquiring the
elements of the theory. The following table shows the
revenue of the Agricultural Societies of Lower Canada,
and the classification of the prizes awarded from their
institution : —

Crop of 1862.— The crops for Upper Canada were es-
timated as follows Fall wheat an average crop. Bar-
ley 10 per cent, below average. Spring wheat 20 per
cent, below. Peas 20 per cent, below. Oats 25 per cent,
below. Hay do. Potatoes 10 per cent, below. Turnips
a full average. The short crop was attributable to two
causes : 1st. The almost unprecedented drought which

S revailed from early spring until nearly the end of
une. 2nd. The grain aphis , which appeared simulta-

neously in almost every part of the Province about
the middle of July, and multiplied with extraordinary
rapidity, till, before the end of the harvest, every
standing stalk of grain was thickly studded with the
insects, which absorbed the nutriment of the plant, and
consequently prevented the proper filling and matur-
ing of the grain. Winter wheat, coming earlier to
maturity, did not suffer so much as the spring wheat.

•Those are the amounts, including water rents, tines &c„ that would have bet >n Realized , if tojto^lbjeen
collected, as in 1859. The amount refunded or free by Order m Council, 28th May 1860, on all the Provincial
canals, was in 1860, $127,310; 1861, $233,863; 1862, $281,811. Total, $616,011.

tributaries, draining an area of 22, 000 square miles, rich
in white, yellow, and red pine, spruce, birch, maple,
and elm. 3rd. The Saguenay country; area 21,000
square miles; white and red pine, spruce, birch, and
tamarac. 4th. The north shore of Bake Huron. 5th.
The Gasp6 peninsula. 6th. The peninsula of Canada
West, containing oak, elm, and walnut. 7th. The On-
tario territory, north of Lake Ontario, still contains a
large quantity of white pine, elm, maple, &c.

25,000 persons are directly engaged in lumbering op-
erations. Government works, called slides, have been
constructed on the sides of the falls on the great rivers,
down which the lumber is floated from the interior!
Farmers have followed the lumberers far beyond the
frontiers of the settlements, in order to supply them
with oats, potatoes, peas, and hay.

In 1851, there were 1,567 saw mills in Upper Canada,
and 1,065 in Lower Canada. The number of feet manu!
factured during the year amounted to 391,051.820 for
U. C., and 381,560,950 for L. C.

Planks and Boards . — The value of the exports of
planks to the U.S. in 1857 amounted to $2, 558, 206 ; in 1858
to $2,678,447 ; 1860, $3,027,730; 1861, $1,507,546. The
sudden falling off in 1861 was owing to the depression
occasioned by the civil war in the United States.

Ashes.— The value of ashes, pot and pearl, exported
from Canada, from 1859 to 1861 inclusive, was as fol-

lows : —

This table shews that an increase has taken place in
every item enumerated. Eighteen million bushels of
turnips were produced in 1861, against three millions in
1851. The production of mangel wurzel, wheat, barley,
and peas, has also progressed with extraordinary
rapidity.

The cash value of the farms of Upper Canada is now
estimated at the sum of $295,000,000.

Canadian Forests. — In 1759, the value of the exports
of lumber amounted to only $31,250. In 1808, it did not
exceed $400,000; while in 1860, it exceeded $10,000,000
having increased more than twenty fold in the half
century. The most important and extensive timber
territories of Canada are: 1st. The country drained
by the Ottawa, comprising an area of 75,000 square
miles. Ihe ash, white and red pine, are obtained

Total $1,107,271 $961,106 $897,207

There is also an increasing trade in Canada balsam,
turpentine, pitch, spruce gum, oil of spruce, oil of hem-
lock, hemlock bark, maple sugar, bark of the bass wood,
bark of the butternut and hickory, sassafras, sumach,
bark of the white oak and slippery elm. The produce
of the forest was formerly the most important of Cana-
dian exports, but agriculture has recently taken the
lead, as appears from the following statement:—

Cultivation of Flax and Hemp . — This is a subject
which has been engaging public attention in both Up-
per and Lower Canada. During the year 1862 the
Government caused public lectures to be delivered on
the importance and advantage of cultivating textile
plants in Canada A quantity of flax seed was ordered
from Europe for distribution among farmers. The cul-
tivators of flax have been stimulated to greater exer-
tion by the cotton crisis, and extensive factories are
being erected for the manufacture.

Cultivation of the Vine. — An attempt has been made
to introduce the cultivation of the vine. Mr. de Court-
enay cultivated several species in the parish of St.
Augustin, near Quebec, and succeeded in obtaining a
quantity of wine of excellent flavor. His success led
him to publish a pamphlet with the object of showing
that, after all, the climate of Canada was adapted to
the production of good wine.

Arts and Manufactures. — There is a Board for each
section of the Province, for the support of which $4,000
is annually appropriated. The finances of the Upper
Canada Board are reported to be in a flourishing con-
dition, the balance to its credit at the close of 1862
being $1,463. The library of reference established in
connection with the Board contains 1,048 books. The
Lower Canada Board reports that the $4,000 grant is
inadequate to carry out, as energetically as could be
desired, the trusts with which they have been charged.
The Exhibition building erected at Montreal had been
mortgaged in consequence of the accumulated liabili*
ties.

EMIGRATION— CANADA.

It was anticipated that the civil war in the United
States would have greatly increased the immigration
into Canada. This expectation, however, has been but

J iartially realized, the high rate of wages offered for
aborers on railways and other works, and the induce-
ments to enlist in the army, being sufficiently attractive
to draw largo numbers to the neighboring States. The
total number of emigrants that arrived at Quebec during
1862, was 22,176, against 19,923 the previous year, being
an increase of 2,253, or 11.30 per cent. Select commit-
tees of the Legislative Council and Assembly have been
appointed to take into consideration the subject of emi-
gration, and, especially, to report from time to time
upon the best means of diffusing a knowledge of the
reat resources of the Province, so as to induce the in-
ux of men of capital and manufacturing enterprise.
These committees nave corresponded with the leading
agriculturists and manufacturers throughout the coun-
try, and the information thus obtained has been printed
ancl circulated. In 1863, a pamphlet entitled “ Canada,
for the information of emigrants,” was published by
authority.

The above table shows that the increase in 1862 was
in male and female adults without families.

Out of the total number of emigrants that arrived in
Quebec in 1862, 14,401, or about 65 per cent., embarked
from ports in the United Kingdom, and of these 12,466
came out by steamers, preferring to pay a higher rate
of passage money in consideration of the greater com-
fort and speed of the voyage. The larger portion of
the emigrants have been farmers, clerks and traders,
labourers and domestic servants. During 1862, there
was a considerable increase in the number of miners
and coopers.

The following statement shews the comparative in-
crease to the population, by immigration, during 1861
and 1862:— 6

The health of the emigrants from the United King-
dom was very good, only 7 deaths at sea having occur-
red amongst them. But a large mortality occurred
among the foreign emigrants. The Norwegians lost
184 during the voyage, and 42 in quarantine, being
over 4 per cent, of their whole number, and the Ger-
mans lost 102, being almost an equal per centage. This
heavy loss was occasioned by measles, small pox, and
ship fever, chiefly attributable to the crowded state of
some of their ships, and neglect of the ordinary sani-
tary precautions. The English emigrants embark
chiefly from Liverpool and Plymouth; the Irish from
the ports of Cork, Londonderry, and New Boss; and
the Scotch almost exclusively from Glasgow. The
German emigration proceeds from Bremen and Ham-
burg, and the Norwegian is spread over 19 different
ports.

Amongst the emigrants from England were 69 fami-
lies from the ribbon weaving districts of Bedworth and
Coventry, the expenses of whose emigration were de-
frayed by public subscription. They were provided
for among the farmers in the western section of the
Province. 95 Cork coopers were sent out by the Cork
Coopers’ Association, but not being familiar with the
sort of cooperage required in this country, they had to
seek farm labor.

Directions to Emigrants . — Under this head some
extracts are given from the information published by
authority for the guidance of emigrants :

On arrival in Canada, the emigrant should at once
apply to the Government Emigration Officers, whose
duty it is to afford him every information and advice.
Those desirous of obtaining employment will find it
to their advantage to accept the first offer, even if
the wages should be less than they had been led to
expect, as until they become acquainted with the coun-
try their services are of comparatively small value to
their employers. Persons seeking situations as clerks,
shopmen, &c. ( for whom there exists no demand), and
mechanics, who experience difficulty in obtaining em-
loyment in their respective trades, should accept the
rst offer that presents itself sooner than remain idle.
Emigrants who have settled destinations should remain
about the city as short a time as possible after arrival.
Farm laborers should proceed at once into the agricul-
tural districts, where they will be certain of meeting
with employment suitable to their habits; and those
with families will also more easily procure the neces-
saries of life, and avoid the hardships and distress
which are experienced by a large portion of the poor
inhabitants in our large cities during the wintor season.

Protection to Emigrants . — The Imperial and Pro-
vincial Passengers Acts provide, as far as possible,
against frauds and imposition, any instance of which
should at once be made known to the nearest emigrant
agent. The Provincial Passengers’ Act provides that
emigrants may remain on board 48 hours after tho ves-
sel’s arrival (except in cases whore the vessel has a mail
contract), and that they shall be landed free of expense,
at proper hours ; that no person without a license shall
influence passengers in favor of any particular steam-
boat, railroad or tavern ; that tavern-keepers shall have
posted, in some conspicuous place, a list of prices to be
charged for board, lodging, &c., and they will not be
allowed to have any lien upon the effects of a passen-
ger for board and lodging beyond five dollars. The
personal effects of emigrants are not liable to duty.

Demand for Labor . — There is always a large de-
mand for farm laborers and female servants; to this
latter class especially, Canada offers great inducements,
and every hard working respectable girl is sure to do
well. Boys and girls over 15, carpenters, masons, brick-
layers, blacksmiths and shoemakers, are also wanted.

Average Wages . — Farm labor per month, from $8 to
$12, with board and lodging; female servants $2 to
$5; Boys, over 13 years $2 to $8; Girls, $1 to $3;
Mechanics per day $1 to $1.50, without board. Trades-
men found with board and lodging get little more than
half the above rates of wages.

Disposal of Capital .— Emigrants possessing capital,
say from .£200 to £500, are advised to purchase or rent
a farm with some little improvement upon it, instead
of going into the bush at once. Parties desirous of in-
vesting may obtain from 8 to 10 per cent, for their
money on mortgage. The emigrant coming to Can-
ada with a small capital, would act wisely, if, instead
of buying land before becoming acquainted with its
character and the kind of labor required in a new
country — a proceeding invariably leading to various
embarrassing expenses— he were to invest his money
in the Savings’ Bank, hire a log shanty for his family
in some neighborhood affording a good prospect of
employment, and work at wages for a year or so, thus
gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to re-
alize independence. Such a course is not deemed de-
grading in Canada, and it is sure to result in ultimate
good. Let it be borne in mind that all families com-
ing to Canada, whether they be possessed of £100 or
£1000, must fail, unless they come determined to labor
themselves; and it may be asserted without fear of
contradiction, that the head of a family who pursues
this plan will, at the end of a few years, be far in ad-
vance of him, no matter what his capital may be, who
has not taken to the axe and the hoe.

Improved fhrms may be purchased at from 5 dollars
to 50 dollars per acre, according to situation and ex
tout of improvement; or rented, with or without the
option of purchase, at from 1 dollar to 4 dollars per

aC Crown Lands in Upper Canada are sold for cash at 70
conts an acre, and, on time, atone dollar an acre, one
fifth to be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining
four fifths in four equal annual instalments, with
interest at 6 per cent, on the purchase money unpaid..
On the north shore of Lake Huron, and at Fort, Wil-
liam on Lake Superior, lands are sold on time at 20
cents an aero. All Crown Lands in the newly sur-
veyed territory aro subject to settlement duties, and
no patent in any case (even though the land bo paid
for in full at the time of purchase) shall issue for any
such land to any person who shall not by himself, or
the porson under whom he claims, have taken pos-
session of such lands, within six months from the time
of sale, and shall from that time continuously have
been a bona fide ocoupant of, and resident on the land
for at least two years, and have cleared and rendered
fit for cultivation and crop, and had under crop, with-
in four years at farthest from the timo of sale ot the
land, a quantity thereof in the proportion of at least 10
acres to every 100 acres, and have erected thereon a
habitable house, and of the dimensions at least of 16 x
20 feet. Timber must not be cut without license, except
for agricultural purposes.

poses can seldom be obtained from land companies,

lings an acre. The Canadian Government, being de-
sirous of preventing the acquisition of large tracts of
lands by private companies or private individuals, for
the purpose of speculation, have coupled the sale of the
Government lands with such conditions as to prevent
undue or improper advantage being taken of their lib-
erality in otlering farming land at a low rate. Every
purchaser must become an actual settler. In addition
to the free grants, Government lands are sold either in
blocks, or in single lots of 100 acres, to actual settlers.
Lands in blocks are sold in quantities varying from
40,000 to 60,000 acres, at 50 cents (about 2s. sterling)
per acre, cash, in Upper Canada; and in Lower Canada,
at from 18 cents and upwards, according to situation,
on condition that the purchaser cause the block to be
surveyed into lots of from 100 to 200 acres each, on a
plan and in a manner to be approved by the Govern-
ment; and that one-third of the block be settled upon
within 2£ years from the time of sale— one-third more
within 7 years— and the residue within 10 years from
the time of sale. The settlers must have resided on
their lots for two years continuously, and have cleared
and cultivated 10 of every 100 acres occupied by them,
before they can get absolute titles. Absolute titles will
be given to the purchaser on payment in full of the
rice, and on his having resided at least two years on
is lot, *nd cleared and had under cultivation 10 of
every 100 acres occupied by him.

Emigrants and others desirous of purchasing Crown
Lands should make application to the respective local
Crown Land agents, who are required by law to fur-
nish all applicants with correct information as to what
lands are open for sale. The Government Emigration
agents at Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, To-
ronto and Hamilton, will afford information and advice
to emigrants respecting the best means of reaching the
localities in which they intend to settle. If the lot has
not yet been advertised, and placed at the disposal of
the agent, no sale of it can be made until that is done,
unless the applicant is in actual occupation, with valu-
able improvements; in that case he may, at his own
expense, procure the services of the agent (if the lot be
within the jurisdiction of one), to inspect it, or furnish
him satisfactory evidence, by affidavits of two credible
and disinterested parties, or the report of a sworn sur-
veyor, to enable him to report to the Department the
following particulars, viz : — The whole time the lot has
been occupied; by whom now occupied; the nature
and extent of the improvements owned by applicant,

and whether there are any adverse claims, on account
of improvements made by any other partv on the same
piece or parcel of land. If the lot is public land, but
notwithm the jurisdiction of any agent, an application
should be made direct to the Department, applicant
being careful, in order to avoid delay and prevent un-
necessary correspondence, to transmit at the same time
the evidence by affidavit or surveyor’s report, as above
stated.

The same rules should be observed by applicants to
purchase public lands situated in the old settled town-
ships, with these additions; that, in cases where the
applicant occupies improvements made by his prede-
cessors on the lot., he should show by assignment or
other evidence, how he obtained possession of them,
and that he is now the bona fide owner of the same.
The present full value of the land per acre, exclusive of
improvements, should also be stated by the agent, the
surveyor or deponents, as the case may be. All papers
necessary to substantiate the applicant’s claim or right
to purchase, if the application is made direct to the De-
partment, should accompany the first application. All
assignments, whether by squatters or purchasers, must
be unconditional to be recognized by the Department.

Expense of Clearing , and Public Charges on Land.—
The cost of clearing wild lands is about from 12 to 14
dollars per acre. The expense is, however, greater in
the remote districts, in consequence of the difficulty of
procuring laborers; but this work is generally done by
contract. The only charge on land is a tax which sel-
dom exceeds Id. per acre. It is applied to local im-
provements alone, in which the persons taxed have a
direct interest.

Capital required, by intending settlers .— The capi-
tal required to enable an emigrant family to settle upon
a free grant lot, or enter upon the occupation of the
wild lands of the Crown, has been variously estimated.
It should be sufficient to support his family for the first
18 months, until he can get a return from his land. In
no case should It be less than £50 Cy.

Emigration in 1863. — The emigration returns show
the number of emigrants arrived at Quebec to Nov. 8,
1863, to have been 1,268 cabin, and 17,521 steerage.
Last year the number was 1,962 cabin, and 19,396 steer-
age. The decrease is accounted for by a decline in the
Norwegian emigration of about 4,000 as compared with
last year. The emigration from the United Kingdom
and Germany increased in 1863,

8TATE OP THE VOLUNTEER FORCE.

On 3rd May 1862, the deputies adjutant general reported, for the information of the House of Assembly, that
there were then organized in the Province 13,390 volunteers; of these 29 companies were reported by lieut. col.
Wiley, after his tour of inspection, as having failed in their organization, and were disbanded ; these 29 compa-
Dies represented 1,450 volunteers, leaving as efficient at that date, 11,940. Since then companies representing
13,070 volunteers, have been organized in different sections of the Province, making in all, up to 9tli Feb. 1863, a
total of 25,010.

Taking population as a basis, these volunteer corps are distributed as follows: Population of all Canada

Active Force.-17M May, 1861. — His Excellency the
Commander in Chief being of opinion that the Officers
commanding corps of the Volunteer Force should have
some progressive promotion in the Militia of the Prov-
ince for long service and for the efficiency of their corps,
has been pleased to establish the following regulations
for this purpose, viz;

1st. That all Captains commanding corps of the Active
Force, who have served as such continuously since the
year 1856 inclusive, and whose corps are at present
efficient in every respect to the satisfaction of the In-
specting Officer, shall be promoted to the rank of Major
in the Militia.

2nd. That henceforth (except in special cases), the
rank of Major shall be granted after five years actual
service as Captain of a corps which is fully uniformed
and efficient in every respect to the satisfaction of the
Inspecting Officer.

3rd. That henceforth, (except in special cases), pro-
motion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Militia
will be granted only to Officers who have served five
years consecutively as Majors at the head of one or more
corps who are fully uniformed and efficient in every
respect to the satisfaction of the Inspecting Officer,—
thus requiring ten years to attain tne rank of Lieut.
Colonel from the period of the first appointment a«
Captain.

Staff.— 4th. His Excellency has also been pleased
to direct that the rank of Major shall be granted to
Captains after five years service consecutively as “ Ma-
jor of Brigade,” to the satisfaction of the Officer on
whose Staff they have served: and
5th. That the rank of Lieutenant Colonel shall be
granted to Majors holding the following Staff appoint-
ments for five years consecutively to the satisfaction of
the Officers on whose Staff they have served, viz:
Assistant Adjutant General, Assistant Quarter-Mas-
ter General, and Major of Brigade, thus requiring ten
years for Captains to attain the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel from the period of their first appointment to
the Staff of the Active Force. .

1st August, 1861.— His Excellency the Commander m
Chief desires to acquaint the Officers of the Volunteer
Force that, in justice to those of long service, he will
in future decline, except in special cases, to allow any
Officer to retain his rank in the Militia of the Provinoe
on retiring from the Volunteer Force,— unless he has
served five years on the whole, or three years conse-
cutively as an Officer in the Force, the two last years
of which must in both cases be in the grade held at the
time of such retirement.

20 th December 1861.— His Excellency the Commander
in Chief has had under his consideration the obvious
disadvantages which must exist in the event of any
Militia corps being dressed in uniforms different from
any of those worn by Her Majesty’s regular Troops with
whom they may be required to act. His Excellency
therefore has ordered the republication of the Circular
Letter from the office of the Adjutant General oi Mili-
tia, of the 19th May 1860, by which the uniform of the
Active Militia Force is prescribed, in accordance with
the Militia Law; and His Excellency strongly urges
the attention of Officers in command of corps ol the
Active Force to the necessity of a strict compliance
with such General Order; and in respect to such corpa

tion Uniform should be procured by them so soon as
their circumstances will permit.

§i Circular , 1

“ Active Force. j Adjutant General’s Office,
“Quebec, 19th May, 1860.

«g IR( _ln accordance with section 31 of the Con-
solidated Militia Laws, His Excellency the Com-
mander in Chief has been pleased to prescribe the fol-
lowing pattern for all clothing to be furnished in future
by the Volunteer Force of the Province; viz:

Field Batteries and Foot Companies of Artillery . —
“Blue Tunics and Trowsers, the same as the Royal
Artillery.

Cavalry.— * Blue Tunics, single breast-
ed, until scarlet facings and white cord :
« Blue Trowsers with white stripes
down the legs :

1 Officers to
f-wear Silver
Lace.

Rife Corps or Companies.— Rifle Green Tunic, single
breasted, with scarlet facings and Black Cord Shoulder
Strap; collar and cuffs slightly braided.

“Rifle Green Trowsers with two stripes of black braid
on a scarlet stripe down the leg; the Highland Com-
panies are recommended to wear Tunics, or Jackets,
and Trews the same as those used in the regular service,
the material and facings of the Tunic or Jacket to be
in uniform with the other Rifle Corps.

“The Buttons of the Tunic of each Arm of the Force
to be of the same description as those worn in the regu-
lar service, encircled with the words, “ Volunteer Mili-
tia, Canada.”

Head Dress. — “ His Excellency is pleased to leave
the description ofthe future Head Dress to be decided
by the Force thomselves; but with a view to uni-
formitv at each Station, it must be so arranged that
each Arm ofthe service will always appear on Parade
with the same style of Head Dress; the Highland Com-
panies however will continue to wear such Head Dress
as may be considered most suitable to themselves.

“In thus prescribing a Uniform for the Force, His
Excellencv earnestly desires to impress upon the Com-
manding Officers and all others concerned the expe-
diency of keeping the expense of the uniform of the
Volunteer Corps as low as possible. His Excellency is
satisfied that the most simple uniform will be the most
serviceable, and that the several Corps will be main-
tained in a more efficient state by diminishing the cost
ofthe Soldier’s outfit.”

29th October 1862.— Volunteer Rifle Corps and Com-
panies, although armed with the long Enfield Rifle, are
to be instructed in the Manual and Platoon Exercises
prescribed for the short Enfield Rifle in the “Field Exer-
cise and Evolutions of Infantry, 1862,” except as re-
gards the modes of fixing and unfixing bayonets, in
which instances the directions laid down for the long
Rifle are to be followed; also all orders contained in
the “ Field Exercise” for the guidance of Troops car-
rying the short Rifle are to be considered as applicable
to Volunteers, although armed with the long Rifle.

AUCorpsand Companies of “Infantry” will however,
be instructed in the Manual and Platoon Exercises,
prescribed for the long English Rifle in the said “Field
Exercise,” the same as in the Queen’s service.

His Excellency the Commander in Chief is pleased
to direct that the “Field Artillery Exercises,” ap-
proved of by the General Order, dated Horse Guards,
1st August, 1861, be adopted by the Volunteer Field
Batteries of Artillery in Canada.

in Chief has been pleased to promulgate the following
orders for the information and guidance ofthe Militia
ofthe Province, respecting the appointment and duties
of Brigade Majors under the provisions ofthe existing
Militia Law, viz :

the whole Province or from any Regimental Division.
The enrolment is to be made by the assessors of each

the Service Militia bv a Board of Examiners, or by a.

School of Military Instruction. .

Every Officer in either the Volunteer or Service Mili-
tia is required on the receipt of his commission to take

ing undelivered in a post office on the first of each
month, excepting drop letters and such letters as are
daily called for, arc advertised in a list posted at the
ofiiee door for the information of the public.

If a newspaper is published in the neighbourhood
the Postmaster is directed to insert this list therein,
provided the proprietor will give it insertion at the
authorized rate.

Parties applying at an office for advertised letters
should alw ays ask for them as such.

Letters and papers after remaining undelivered in
an office for three months are sent to the Dead Letter
Office, as also are all letters refused by the persons to
whom they are addressed, or letters addressed to per-
sons deceased.

Every letter which is opened at the Dead Letter
Office and found to contain the address of the sender
is sent back to him; but such as do not contain the
sender’s address, are destroyed, excepting always
those which contain money and other articles of value,
which are kept for a reasonable time for the purpose
of being reclaimed.

Registration.— By the pre-payment of the following
fee, in addition to the ordinary postage, letters ana
parcels oan be registered at. the office at which posted :
On letters addressed to any plaoe in Canada or
the other British North American Provinces 2 oents
On letters addressod to anyplace in the United

States 5 **

On letters addressed to any place in the United

Kingdom 12£ u

On parcels to any part of Canada 5 u

The registration fees on letters to British Colonies
and Foreign Countries will be found in the tables.

Every letter or parcel containing value should be reg-
istered and presented to the Postmaster or his clerk,
and a receipt, obtained thorofor. On no account should
it be dropped into a letter box.

When letters are registered for the United Kingdom,
for Foreign Countries, via England, or for the United

States, both the postage and the registration fee must
be prepaid.

Books, periodicals, newspapers, circulars, and other
printed matter, cannot be registered unless pie-paid
the full letter rates, in addition to the ordinary regis-
tration fee.

Registered letters and packets can only be delivered
to the parties to whom they are addressed or to their
order, and a receipt must be given on the delivery of
each registered letter in a book kept by every post-
master for that purpose.

It should be clearly understood that the post office
is not responsible for the safe delivery of a registered
letter or parcel. The registration simply makes its
transmission more secure, by rendering it practicable
to trace it, when passing from one place to another in
Canada, from its receipt to its delivery ; and when ad-
dressed from any place in Canada to any place in the
United States, the United Kingdom, or parts abroad,
if not to its delivery, at least to the frontier or port of
despatch.

Postage Stamps.— Every postmaster is required to
have on hand a sufficient stock of postage stamps, and
to sell them to the public at 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents,
12V cents, and 17 cents each.

Letter envelopes are also provided with medallion
stamps equivalent to 5 cents and 10 cents postage, each.
The five cent'envelopes are sold singly at 6 centseach;
66 cents per dozen ; $5.50 per hundred. The 10 cent
envelopes are sold singly at 11 cents each ; $1.26 per
dozen ; $10.50 per hundred.

With the approval of the Postmaster General, post-
age stamps are sold to certain dealers to retail again
to the public.

Pre-payment of letters should, in all cases where
practicable, be made by postage stamps.

A mutilated stamp, or a stamp cut in half, is not re-
cognized in pre-payment of postage.

A medallion stamp cannot be accepted in prepay-
ment of postage separated from the envelope of which
it may have formed a part.

No British stamps, or stamps of a foreign country,
can be received in pre-payment of postage in C anada.

In affixing the stamp to the letter, wet slightly the
corner of the envelope and the gummed side of the
stamp, and gently press the stamp till it is firmly fixed.
Stamps should be placed on the front or address sido
of the letter, and on the right hand upper corner.

Letters cannot be pre-paid partly in stamps and
partly in money ; the postage must be pre-paid either
wholly in stamps, or wholly in money.

If the stamps affixed to a letter addressed to any
place in British North America be not adequate to the
proper postage, the letter is rated with an amount
equal to the deficiency.

Letters addressed to the United States, on w hich
stamps are affixed representing less than the amount
of postage to which the letters are liable, are rated
with full unpaid postage.

Postage stamps are received at all post offices in
payment of postage or unpaid letters delivered there-
from.

Money Orders— Post offices in Canada at which
money orders are issued and paid, are distinguished in
the List of Post Offices by boing printed in it dies.

Every money order office in Canada issues money
orders on every other money order office in Canada,
as well as on every money order office in the United
Kingdom. Every money order office in the United
Kingdom also issues money orders on every money
ordor office in Canada.

The rate of commission charged on money orders
drawn by one monev order office in Canada on any
other money ordor office in Canada, is as follows : — •

If not exceeding in amount $10 5 cents.

Exceeding $10 and not exceeding $20 10 “

« 20 “ “ 40 20 “

** 40 ** ** 60 .... 30 “

60 “ “ 80 40 “

« 80 “ “ 100 .... 50 “

No half cents can be introduced into ordors.

No money order exceeding $100 in amount can be
grantod on any office in Canada; but postmasters are
at liberty to grant two or more orders tor $100 or tor
anv lesser sum. Thev cannot, how ever, grant two or
more orders for sums of or under $30 on the same day
to the same applicant in favor of the same payee.

Money orders on the United Kingdom are drawrn in
sterling money, and may be for any sum from one
shilling to ten pounds. They must not, how ever, ex-
ceed the latter amount; but postmasters are at liberty
to issue two or more separate orders for ten pounds
each or for any smaller sum.

The rate of commission charged on orders on the
United Kingdom, over and above the currency value
of the sterling, is as follows : —

For orders not exceeding £2 sterling 25 cts.

Exceeding L2 and not ex. ±5 stg 50 “

“ 5 “ “ 7 “ 75 “

“ 7 “ “ 10 “ 1.00 “

Tables shewing the amount of Provincial currency
required for money orders issued in Canada upon the
United Kingdom, in addition to the commission, and
money orders issued in the United Kingdom upon
Canada, will be found subjoined :

Applicants for money orders should always use the
printed application forms, in which they should fill up
the particulars of the order required. These forms are
supplied gratuitously at all money order offices.

The Christian and surnames in full, and residences,
both of the remitter and payee, should be furnished to
the issuing postmaster. When a married woman is
either the remitter or payee, her own Christian name
should be given, and not that of her husband, thus —

“ Mrs. Mary Smith,” not “ Mrs. John Smith.”

If the remitter or payee be a Peer or a Bishop, his
ordinary title is sufficient. If a firm, the usual desig-
nation of such firm will suffice, such as “ Baring Bros.,”
“Smith & Son,” “Jones & Co.”

Parties procuring money orders should examine
them carefully to see that they are properly filled up
and stamped. This caution will appear the more
necessary when it is understood that any important
defect in these respects will throw difficulties in the way
ofpavment.

Money orders which, in consequence of misappre-
hension of the name of the remitter or place of pay-
ment have been erroneously made out, can be returned
to the postmaster, and a correct order given in ex-
change; a new commission, however, will be charged
on the corrected order.

Parties obtaining money orders on Canadian offices,
can procure re-payment thereof on presentation of the
orders at the office at wdiich issued, signing. the receipt
at the foot. No order, however, can be re-paid with-
out the authority of the superintendent, unless pre-
sented for re-payment on the day on which it is issued.
Neither can orders on the United Kingdom be re-paid
without his special authority.

When a remitter desires an order on the United
Kingdom to be paid through a bank, it is left to his
option to give or withhold the name of the payee, or to
substitute for the name of the payee any other desig-
nation or modification, such as “the Cashier of the
Bank of England,” “the Chief Clerk of the Foreign
Office.” Such orders must, however, be crossed by
the issuing postmaster with the name of the bank
through wdiich the order is to be paid.

The issue of money orders on credit, or for cheques
not marked “good” by the bank drawn upon, is
strictly prohibited.

If a payee is unable to write, he mustsign the receipt
at the foot of the order, in the presence of the paying
postmaster, by making his mark, to be witnessed in
writing ; as, tor example : —

Ilis

Witness , — John Kenny. Joseph x Allen.

Queen Street, for onto. Mark.

In cases of money orders issued in Canada, post-
masters are at liberty to accept the written order of
the payee on the order itself in favor ot a second per-
son, if through illness or insuperable difficulty the
paveo is prevented from presenting the order in

l < When a Canadian money order has been lost, either
by the remitter or pavee/the circumstance must bo
made known to the superintendent, who, under cer-
tain precautions, will issue a duplicate.

Duplicates of sterling orders can only be granted by
the paying country. Thus the British post office issues
duplicates of orders drawn in Canada on the United
Kingdom, and the Canadian Head Money Order Office
grants duplicates of orders drawn in the United King?
dom on Canada.

124

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT — CANADA. [1864. .B. N. A.

Money orders which are not presented until one full
year after their date are considered as lapsed orders,
and cannot be paid without the special permission of
the superintendent. In all such cases satisfactory
reasons should be given explanatory of the delay in
the presentation of the order.

The Deputy Postmasters General of Malta and Gib-
raltar are authorized to issue money orders on the
several money order otlices in Canada. Money order
offices in Canada do not, however, grant money orders
on Malta and Gibraltar.

General Regulations .— Postmasters and certain other
officers of the department are not exempt from serving
on juries or inquests, or in the militia. This exemp-
tion applies to mail carriers, but not to assistants ap-
pointed and paid by postmasters.

The postmasters of Quebec, Montreal, Three Rivers,
and Sherbrooke, and the postmasters of incorporated
cities and towns in Upper Canada, divided into wards,
and other officers of the Post Office Department, ex-
cepting Postmasters at other than the above places,
cannot legally vote at the election of any member of
the Legislative Council or of the Legislative Assembly.

Postmasters are not authorized to give credit for
postage; if they do so it is entirely at their own risk.

A letter once posted becomes the property of the
person to whom it is addressed, and must be forwarded
according to its direction. On no application, however
urgent, can it be delivered back to the writer, or to
any other person.

A letter addressed to a firm may be delivered to any
member of the firm. If addressed to several persons
it may be delivered to any one of them.

A letter delivered to the wrong person in conse-
quence of his name being the same as the one of the
person for whom the letter is really intended, should
be at once returned to the postmaster from whom re-
ceived, the party writing on the cover “ opened by me
through mistake,” and signing his name thereto.

Letters posted without any direction, or addressed
so imperfectlv that they cannot be forwarded to their
intended destinations, and also unpaid or insufficiently
paid letters addressed to countries to which letters
cannot be sent without the postage is pre-paid, are
returned to the writers through the Dead Letter Office.

No information can be given respecting letters which
pass through a post office except to the persons to
whom thev are addressed.

Parties desiring their letters and papers to be re-
directed should send an intimation to that effect, in
writing, to the postmaster of the office from which the
letters and papers are to be re-directed.

Postmasters are allowed to re-direct letters to the
known places of residence of the parties to whom they
are addressed, after allowing a reasonable time to
elapse without their being called for.

Letters and papers are not subject to any addi-
tional charge when re-directed from one post office in
Canada to another post office in Canada.

Postmasters are instructed not to receive any letter
or packet which there is good reason to believe con-
tains glass or anything likely to injure the contents of
the mail bag or the person of any officer of the post
office.

' A postmaster is not legally bound to furnish chango,
but if absolutely necessary may require that the exact
amount of postage on any letter or packet to be
tendered to him in current coin, or in Canada postage
stamps.

Postmasters and their assistants in the above matter,
as well as in all their official intercourse with the
public, are expected to afford every accommodation,
and to treat everyperson having business at their offices,
with every courtesy.

Mail couriers are bound to receivo letters offered to
them whilst on the road between one post office and
another, provided that when a letter is so offered the
distance irom the nearest post office exceods one mile.
Such letters are termed Way Letters, and are subject
to the ordinary rates of postage.

Suggestions to the Public . — Facility will bo given to
the post office in the discharge of its daily duties, and
greater security afforded to the public, by careful
attention to the following recommendations; —

Post all letters and newspapers, &c., as early as
practicable, especially when sent in large numbers.

When a number or newspapers are addressed to the
same office, put them up in one — 1

When a number of circulars are posted, tie them up
in a bundle, with the addresses all m one direction.

Address letters, papers, &c., in a legible and com-
plete manner, always giving the name of the post
office; and if there be more than one post office of
that name, the name of the county in which situated.
In case of letters going abroad, the name of the
country, as well as of the town and city, should be
given in full. Letters, for example, intended for
London, England, if simply addressed “London,"
would be forwarded to London, Canada West, and thus
be delayed.

See that every letter, newspaper, or other packet
sent by post, i6 securely folded and sealed. Every
such packet has to be several times handled; and even
when in the mail bag, is exposed to pressure and fric-
tion. Unless, therefore the article be light and pliant,
it should be enclosed in strong paper, linen, parch-
ment, or some other material which will not readily
tear or break.

Fasten the covers of newspapers firmly, so as to
prevent them from slipping out.

When dropping a letter or newspaper into a letter-
box, always see that the packet falls into the box, and
does not stick in its passage.

Never seal letters for the East or West Indies and
other hot climates, with wax. Such a practice is
attended with much inconvenience, and frequently
with serious injury, in consequence of the melting of
the wax, and the adhesion of the letters to each other.
In all such cases use either wafers or gum, and advise

our correspondents in the country referred to, to do
he same.

Never send money or other articles of value through
the post office, except either by means of a money
order or in a registered letter. Carefully secure every
letter or packet containing money or value, first with
gum and afterwards with good sealing-wax, on
which make the clear impression of a seal.

In posting a registered letter or packet, always
obtain a receipt for the same at the office where
posted. -

Whon letters or papers are delayed or missing, at
once communicate the fact to the Inspector of the
division in Which is situated the post office at which
the delayed or missing letters were posted. In case of
a missing letter enclosing value, state the exact con-
tents, the exact address, and the office at which posted,
the name of the person by whom posted, and the
name of the person by whom received at the office. In
the case of a delayed letter or paper, send the cover or
wrapper in an entire state, 'in order that the place of
delay may be ascertained by an examination of the
post marks.

Trouble and loss occasionally arise out of the care-
lessness or dishonesty of parties employed in the post
office service; yet instances are not wanting in which
it has been shown to the satisfaction even of the
complainants, that the fault at first attributed to the
post office, in truth rested in other quarters. Thefts
by private hands, although very difficult of proof,
have not unfrequeutly been brought to light, and it is
greatly to be desired that those who sutler loss should
in the first instance, and while the circumstances are
fresh, endeavour to ascertain with the utmost precision
all particulars respecting the despatch or receipt of the
lost letters or papers, and lose no time in communicat-
ing this information to the Inspector, Indeed, gene-
rally speaking, it is only by careful enquiry into
minute details that the offender can be detected,
whether ho be a servant of the Department or not.

The Post Office is a department which admits of con-
stant improvement and expansion. The public, by
sending to the Postmaster-General clear and correct
information respecting faulty arrangements, may ma-
terially benefit the service. It must be remembored,
however, that changes of machinery so extensive
and intricate as that of the post office, must be made
cautiously and with much previous consideration.

Time is generally required to carry out any material
change in postal arrangements; for oven when decided
upon, old contracts, requiring notice of termination,
may have to be got rid of, and tenders for new con-
tracts invited by public advertisement, before the
decision can take effect.

New post offices are established by the Department
wherever it is ascertained that a sufficient number ot
inhabitants can be accommodated, and a sufficient

amount of postal revenue collected to warrant such a
measure. When a new post office is required, a
petition should be addressed to the Postmaster-
General, signed by as many of the inhabitants as can
conveniently subscribe the same. The petition should
state the name of the township and the number of the
lot and concession on which it is desired the oflice
should be established; the distance from the neighbor-
ing offices; whether at the site of the proposed post
office there is a village; the number of mills, stores,
taverns, and houses thereat; the extent of the settle-
ment to be served, and the probable cost of the mail;
together with any other facts which may form any
ground for the accommodation applied for.

EDUCATION— ‘-TJPPER CANADA.

[1864. B.N.A.

EDUCATION.

r-rTEF SKETCH OF THE STATE AND PROGRESS OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION IN UPPER CANADA.

BY J. GEORGE HODGIN8, LL.B., F.R.G.S.

The present educational prosperity of Upper Canada
has been of very slow growth. Nearly sixty years ago
an unsuccessful effort was made to endow four Gram-
mar schools and a University; and in 1807 the first
.Legislative enactment was passed establishing Classical
ana Mathematical schools in the eight districts into
which Upper Canada was then divided, and endowing
them with £400 per annum each. That established at
Cornwall, under the mastership of Mr. Strachan (now
the lion, the right rev. the Lord Bishop of Toronto),
was most efficient. , .. . , _ ..

In 1816, nine years after the establishment of the
Grammar schools, the Legislature of Upper Canada
passed the first Common school law for that province,
and appropriated £24,000 per annum for the mainte-
nance of Common schools. In 1820 this sum was re-
duced to £10,000. „ TT ,

In 1822, a Board of Education for Upper Canada
was established for the supervision of the Grammar
schools, and the management of the University and
School lands, which had been granted for those pur-
poses by his Majesty George III. in 1798. Some regula-
tions were adopted; and in 1824, an attempt was made
to introduce Common and Sunday school libraries.
Nevertheless, the zeal of the public in behalf of educa-
tion gradually languished ; and it was not until 1835 that
an effort was made to revive it. In that year a bill to
promote it was passed in the House of Assembly, but
failed to pass in the Legislative Council. In 1836, an
elaborate report was prepared by Dr. Thomas Duns-
combe, M.T.P., chairman of the Educational com-
mittee of the House of Assembly, on the state of edu-
cation in the various parts of the adjoining Union
which he visited. He also prepared a draft of a Bill,
which was printed, but never passed. The political
crisis of 1837 soon followed, overwhelming in con-
fusion all our school legislation and preventing further
attention being given to the subject at that time.

I.— PUBLIC COMMON SCHOOLS.

(1.) The Common School System. — In 1841, a bill was
passed restoring our Common schools, authorizing the
establishment of Separate schools, and tracing the out-
lines of a system of education. In 1844, the rev. Dr.
Ryerson, the present head of the Department, was ap-

{ jointed. He speedily set himself to reconstruct, upon a
jroader and more lasting foundation, our entire system
of public instruction . As a preliminary step, he devoted
a year to the examination and comparison of the sys-
tems of education in Europe and America, and em-
bodied the results in a “ Report. on a System of Public
Elementary Instruction in Upper Canada.” This
valuable report sketches, in a comprehensive manner,
the system of public instruction which is now in suc-
cessful operation among us.

The chief outlines of the system are similar to those
in other countries. We are indebted in a great degree to
New York for the machinery of our schools, to Massa-
chusetts for the principle upon which they are sup-
ported, to Ireland for an admirable series of Common
school books, and to Germany for our system of
Normal school training. All, however, are so modified
and blended to suit the circumstances of the country,
that they are no longer exotic, but “ racy of the soil.”
In several important particulars, our Public School
system differs from any other on this continent. The
chief points of difference are as follows:

1. It provides for specific religious instruction, and
the co-operation and visitation of the local clergy of
the various religious persuasions.

2. The chief executive is a non-political and perma-
nent officer.

3. Taxation for its support is voluntary on the part
of the various municipalities.

4. 1 1, prohibits the use of foreign books in the English
branches of instruction, except by special permis-
sion, — thus preventing the introduction of heteroge-
neous textbooks, and those inimical to oar institu-
tions.

6. It provides for the supply of maps, school appa-
ratus, prize, and library books to all the schools, direct

from the Department, and grants 100 per cent, on local
appropriations for this purpose.

6. It provides for the pensioning of superannuated
or worn-out teachers.

7. It provides for taking and recording meteorologi-
cal observations at the senior County Grammar
schools.

(2.) Common School Statistics. — Each township is
divided into school sections of a suitable extent for
one school, and in each of these sections three trustees
are elected to manage its school affairs. In cities,
towns, and villages, the schools are managed by a
Board of School trustees, elected for the municipality.
There were 4,104 Common schools in Upper Canada in
1862, including 109 Roman Catholic Separate schools,
attended by 343,733 pupils, of which 14,700 attended
the Roman Catholic Separate schools.

(3.) Expenditures on . behalf of Common and Separate
Schools in 1862.— 1. For the salaries of teachers, $959,776;
increase over 1861, $41,663.

2. For maps, apparatus, prizes, and libraries, $22,316;
increase, $1,511.

3. For school sites, and building of school houses,
$114,719; increase, $1,354.

4. For rents and repairs of school houses, $37,960;
increase, $1,498.

5. For school books, stationery, fuel, and other ex-
penses, $97,219 ; decrease, $5,452’.

6. Total expenditure for all Common school pur-
poses, $1,231,993; increase, $40,575. .

7. Balances unexpended at the end of the year,
$164,130; decrease, $25,731.

(4.) Free Public Libraries, Maps, and Apparatus . —
The Chief Superintendent in his report for 1862 states
that “The system of free public libraries is as follows:
A carefully classified catalogue of about four thousand
wmrks (which, after examination, have been approved
by the Council of Public Instruction), is sent to the
trustees of each school section and the council of each
municipality. From this catalogue the municipal or
school authorities desirous of establishing or improv-
ing a library, select such books as they think proper,
and receive from the Department the books desired
(as far as they are in print or stock) at cost prices, with
an apportionment of one hundred per cent, upon
whatever sum or sums they transfer towards the pur-
chase of books. The libraries are managed by the
local councils and trustees according to general regu-
lations, as provided by law, by the Council of Public
Instruction.” Up to the end of Dec. 1862, about 518
libraries had been established, containing more than
1200 sub-divisions, and 198,848 vols.

“The maps, globes, and various articles of school
apparatus sent out by the Department, apportioning
one hundred per cent, upon whatever sum or sums are
provided from local sources, are nearly all manufactur-
ed in Canada, and are better executed at lower prices
than imported articles of the same kind. The globes
and maps manufactured (even to the material) in Ca-
nada, contain the latest discoveries of voyagers and
travellers, and are executed in the best manner, as are
tellurians, mechanical powers, numeral frames, geo-
metrical forms, &c. All this has been done by em-
ploying competitive private skill and enterprise. 1 he
Department has furnished the manufacturers with the
copies and models, purchasing certain quantities of the
articles when manufactured at stipulated prices, then
permitting and encouraging them to manufacture and
dispose of these articles themselves to any private
parties desiring them, as the Department supplies them
only to municipal and school authorities. In this
way new domestic manufactures are introduced, and
mechanical and artistic skill and enterprise are encou-
raged, and many aids to school and domestic instruc-
tion, heretofore unknown among us, or only attainable
in particular cases witli difficulty and at great ex-
pense, are now easily and cheaply accessible to private
families, as well as to public municipal and school
authorities all over the country. It is also worthy ot
remark, that this important branch of the Educational
Department is self-supporting. All the expenses of it

are reckoned in the cost of the articles and hooks pro-
cured : so that it does not cost either the public reve-
nue or school fund a penny beyond what is appor-
tioned to the municipalities and school sections pro-
viding a like sum or sums for the purchase of books,
maps, globes, and various articles of school apparatus.
1 know of no other instance In either the United
States or in Europe, of a branch of a public depart-
ment of this kind, conferring so great a benefit upon
the public, and without adding to public expenses.”

In connection with the foregoing, it maj be interest-
ing to show what has been the extent or the demand
for books in Canada during the last twelve years. The
facts are highly encouraging, and speak well for the
prevalence of an enlightened literary taste and grow-
ing intelligence among the various classes of the
people.

The following statistical table, which has been com-
piled from the trade and navigation returns for the
province, shows the gross value of printed books (not
maps or school apparatus) imported into Canada dur-
ing the thirteen years specified below :

(5.) Text Books, Maps, and Apparatus used in the
Schools — The Bible and Prayers . — In regard to the text-
books, &c., the Chief Superintendent also remarks as
follows: — “ 1. The series of National Canadian Text-
books (adopted and adapted from those of the Irish
National Board) are now so universally used in our
schools, that the detailed table on this subject is not
repeated. It is worthy of remark that the text-books
specially prepared and adapted for the Canadian
schools are rapidly superseding those for which they
were intended as substitutes.

“ On the adoption of the decimal system of currency
in Canada it was felt that the National arithmetics
should be adapted to it. This task was undertaken by
Mr. Sangster, the mathematical master of the Normal
school, who has compiled both a large and a small
arithmetic, upon the plan of the National Arithmetic,
greatly improved and illustrated by examples taken
from Canadian statistics. These arithmetics, published
by the enterprise of Mr. Lovell, are already used in
1.906 schools — being an increase of 782 schools during
the year : while the use of the old National Arithmetic
has decreased during the year to the extent of 734
schools.

”2. The same remark applies to Mr. Lovell's Cana-
dian Geography, compiled by Mr. Hodgins, and in-
fended to supersede Morse’s Geography, which had
heretofore been permitted in the schools in the ab-
sence of one better adapted for their use. The use of
Morse's Geography has been discontinued in 703
schools during the year, while Lovell’s General Geo-
graphy has been introduced into 818 schools — being
now used in 1,864 schools.

“ 3. The Avhole number of schools using maps is 2,965
— Increase, 145; the number of schools using globes is
1,017 — increase, 91 ; the number of schools using black-
boards is 3,526 — increase, 184. The whole number of
maps used in the schools is 21,976 — increase, 1,309.

”4. The number of schools opened and closed with
prayer was 2,576— increase, 195. The number of schools
m which the Bible or Testament is used was 2.922 —
increa.se, 43; being nearly three-fourths of all the
Common schools in Upper Canada.”

(6) The Superannuated or Worn-out Teachers.—
1. The Legislature has apportioned $4,000 per annum

in aid of superannuated or worn-out Common School
teachers. '1 he allowance cannot exceed $6 per annum
for each year that the recipient has taught a Common
school in Upper Canada. Each recipient must pay
$4 for the current year, or $5 for each past year, since
1854, into the fund; nor can any teacher share in the
fund miles 3 he pays annually at* that rate to the fund,
commencing with the time of his beginning to teach,
or with 1854 (when the system Was established), if he
began to teach before that time. If a teacher lias not
paid his subscription annually, he must pay at the rate
of $5 per annum for past time, in order to be entitled
to share in the fund when worn out. 209 teachers
have been admitted to receive aid from this fund; of
whom 88 have died before or during the year 1862.
The average age of each pensioner was 66£ years.

it . — normal and model schools.

The establishment of a Normal school as necessary
to the completion of a national system of education,
engaged public attention in 1836; but nothing was
accomplished until after the appointment, in 1844, of
the rev. Dr. Everson, as Superintendent, of Education.
In February 1846, l>r. Ryerson, after investigating
the systems of education in Europe and the United
States, submitted to Government his report on a Sys-
tem of Elementary education for Upper Canada, and
a draft of a School bill, which obtained the assent of
Parliament, 23rd May 1846. On the 1st July following,
the Board of Education (now Council of Public Instruc-
tion) was appointed, for the purpose of establishing the
Normal and Model schools, and selecting text-books for
the Common schools of the Province. ' By agreement
with the Government, the old Government house of
Upper Canada, at Toronto, was granted for the use of
the Normal school, until the erection of proper build-
ings ; and after the completion of the necessary arrange-
ments, the institution was formally opened for the ad-
mission of students on the lsLNovcmber 1847. The
following year the Boys’ Model school was opened.

On the removal of the Seat of Government from Mont-
real to Toronto, in 1849, measures were adopted for
the immediate erection of buildings for the institution.
Accordingly, the Legislature, in 1850, appropriated
£15,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of build-
ings, and an additional £10,000 in 1852— making in all
£25,000. The corner stone of the new buildings was
laid on the 2nd .July, 1851, by His Excellency Lord
Elgin, and the premises were formally opened 'on the
24th November 1862. A Girls’ Model school was added
in this year.

The institution consists of a Normal school and two
Model schools: the former, the School of Instruction
by Lecture; the latter, the School of Instruction by
Practice. The students in the former are young per-
sons whose ages vary from 16 or 18 to 30 and over ; wliile
the pupils in the latter are children between the ages of
5 and 16 years. In tin* Normal school, the teachers in
training are instructed in the various English branches,
as well as in the principles of education, and the best
methods of communicating knowledge to the youth
placed under their care, — are “ taught how to teach”;
and in the Model schools they are taught to give
practical effect to those instructions, under the direc-
tion of teachers previously trained in the Normal
school. The Model schools are designed, by both
the system of instruction pursued, and the general
arrangement, to be the model for the public schools of
the Province.

In the admissions to the Normal school all the Coun-
ties in Upper Canada have been represented.— The
number of applications for admission during the two
sessions of 1862 was 341 ; the number admitted was 283.
The number who (after an examination of several days,
on paper, at the close of each session, on all the subjects
taught, and as to their ability and skill in teaching and
governing a school) received Provincial certificates,
was 191. Teachers from the Normal school have given
a tone and character to Common school teaching gen-
erally; the demand for them increases yearly; and
thus the influence of the Normal school is felt through-
out Upper Canada in the improved methods of school
organization and teaching, as well as in the qualifica-
tions, character, and position of teachers.

III. — THE county grammar schools.
Grammar schools were first established in Upper
Canada in 1807, under the name of “ district schools.
The number established in that year was eight— or one
each for the eight districts into which the 1 rovmce
was then divided. , .

In 1855, the present County Grammar school system
was established. It was designed to form a link be-
tween the common school and the university, and was
intended to provide facilities for giving “instruction
in the higher branches of a practical English and com-
mercial education, inpluding the elements of mechanics
and natural philosophy, and also in the Greek and La-
tin languages, and in mathematics, so far as to prepare
students for University College, or any college affiliated
to the University of Toronto.”* .

The course of study in these schools, and the general
regulations for their management, are prescribed by
the Council of Public Instruction for Upper Canada.
Masters must either be graduates of some university,
or possess a certificate of qualification from a commit-
tee of examiners appointed by the Council of Public
Instruction. Pupils, on entering a Grammar school,
are required to pass a preliminary examination in
“reading, writing, spelling; simple and compound
rules of arithmetic, reduction and simple proportion;
elements of English grammar and parsing; definitions
and outlines of geography. ’ ’ There are four grammar
school terms in each year, and the fees are determined
bv the local boards of trustees. The members of these
boards are appointed by the County councils. In 1862
there were ninety-one grammar schools in Upper Can-
ada, attended by 4,982 pupils, and supported at a cost
of $90,090, including a Legislative grant of $39,111.

The total number of educational institutions ot all
kinds, reported by the Educational Department as in
operation in Upper Canada during 1862, was 4,554,
attended by 357,572 pupils, and expending $1,703,216
in their support.

IV.— THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT FOR UPPER
CANADA.

Contemporaneous with and indicative of the growth
and development of the educational system of up

HI , ^ iucauuiiiu oj'oiv,... .

Canada, has been the history of the department itseii.
Originally a branch of the Provincial Secret) ary s de-
partment (who was, ex officio, chief superintendent of

education), with an assistant superintendent and a

clerk, it has gradually expanded into a fishnet , antt
important branch of the public service. It £°w °ccu-

pies, with its three excellent accessory schools, a hana

some structure, which was specially erected by author-
ity of the Legislature for that purpose.

EDUCATION — UPPER CANADA

129

The Education Oihce was first opened in 1841 at
Kingston, the then seat of Government. In 1844 it
was, for convenience, removed to Cobourg (one hun-
dred miles further west), and in 1840 to a building ad-
joining the old Government house, at Toronto. In 1852
it was removed to the new buildings, which were
erected on a square facing on Gould, Church, Gerrard,
and Victoria streets, which is now nearly in the heart
of the city.

The duties devolving upon the Educational Depart-
ment include those relating to the general administra-
tion of the Common and Grammar school laws; the
giving of explanations to municipal councils, local su-
perintendents, school trustees, teachers, and others, on
doubtful points of law and modes of proceeding; de-
cisions on appeals and complaints; auditing municipal
school accounts; the oversight of the Normal and
Model, Grammar and Common schools, and the grant-
ing of provincial certificates to teachers; paying and
accounting for all the legislative grants for Grammar,

During the years.... 1850. 1851. 1852. 1853. 1854.

Do. sent out 760 1,136 1,430 1,936 2,581

No power has boen employed by the Department but
that of persuasion : and no attempt has been made to
advance faster than the felt necessities and convictions
of the country would justify. To educate the people
through themselves is the fundamental principle of the
Upper Canada school system; and to assist them to
advance their own best interests, and manage their
own school affairs, has been the spirit and sole object
of its administration.

Officers of the Department.— Rev. Egerton Ryerson,
D.D., LL.D., chief superintendent of education ; John
George Hodgins, LL.B., F.R.G.S., deputy superinten-
dent; Alexander Marling, LL.B., senior clerk of
Department and accountant ; A. Johnstone William-

Y. UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND SEMINARIES.

The University of Toronto . — The University of To-
ronto was established by Royal charter, of the 15th of
March 1827, under the title of “ King’s College.” The
following year, 3rd of January 1828, it was endowed,
by patent, with a grant of the lands which had been set
apart for that purpose by the Crown in 1798, at the
request of the Parliament of Upper Canada. The
arrangements having been completed for opening the
University, the formal inauguration of the institution
and first admission of students, took place on the 8th
of June 1843, and its first convocation on the 14th
December 1844.

Various acts relating to the University have been
assed by the Provincial Parliaments. In 1853, Par-
ament passed another Act (16 Victoria, cap. 89),
separating the functions of the University from those
assigned to it as a College,” and abolishing the profes-
sorships of law and medicine, and the rights and pri-
vileges of the Convocation, which had been guaranteed
in the original charter, and continued and enlarged
by the Act of 1849. Under this present Act the Uni-
versity of Toronto is modelled after the University
of London, England, and is governed by a Senate
appointed by the Crown. Its functions consist in pre-
scribing courses of study in the faculties of law, med-
icine, and arte, and such other branches of knowledge
as may be determined ; appointing examiners for as-
certaining the proficiency of persons desirous of lit-
erary distinction in the appointed subjects of study;
and conferring the appropriate academical degrees
and honors upon such as attain the required profi-
ciency, and comply with the prescribed regulations.

The officers of the Senate are, a chancellor, ap-
ointed by the Crown, and a vice-chancellor, elected
y the Senate from amongst its members. There are
no professorships in the University. Examiners are
appointed annually by the Senate, in law, in med-
icine, and in arte, who hold examinations at such times
in each year as the Senate may appoint. In addition

Common and Separate schools, and for the Normal
school, the Educational depositorv, the Museum, pen-
sions to superannuated teachers, and other services,
providing teachers’ registers, blank reports, and re-
turns for trustees, local superintendents, clerks, and
treasurers of municipalities, and the Journal of Edu-
cation (besides editing it) to each local superintendent
and school corporation in Upper Canada, the prepara-
tion of the annual report of the Chief Superintendent,
general correspondence relating to the promotion of
education, &c.

Educational Museum .— Connected with the Educa-
tional Department is a museum, containing specimens
of school apparatus and furniture; a valuable collec-
tion of Italian, Dutch, and Flemish oil paintings, and
statuary casts and busts. The museum is freely open
to the public.

Some idea may be formed of the gradual progress of
the work in the Department from the following state-
ment of its correspondence since 1850 :

1855. 1856. 1857. 1858. 1859. 1860. 1861. 1862.

3,764 3,966 3,542 4,627 5,823 6,015 5,656 4.956

to the academical degrees in the various faculties, the
rewards for proficiency are: diplomas, scholarships
(conferring a yearly stipend and free tuition in Uni-
versity College), prizes, and certificates of honor.

University College , Toronto.— On the first establish-

struction as well as of determining the standard ol
Qualifications for University honors and degrees were
combined in the one institution, and were so continued
under the University Act of 1849. With a view oi
adapting the constitution of the University to a sys-
tem of affiliated colleges, the Act 16 Victoria, cap. 89,
separated these functions, and established University
College as a distinct collegiate institution from the
University of Toronto, and under the government ot a
College Council, composed of a president, vice-presi-
dent. and professors. By the same Act it is provided,
that there shall be taught in the said College such sci-
ences, arts, and branches of knowledge as the Council
may, from time to time, determine, and as may be in

Upper Canada College and Royal Grammar School,
in connection icith the University of Toronto.— This
College was established in the year 1829, by the then
Lieut-Governor of Upper Canada, Sir John Colborne,
(the late Lord Seaton), as an institution for general
education, and which might fitly prepare the way for,
and ultimately assist in filling, the Provincial Univer-
sity, then onlv projected. Having first obtained the
concurrence of the College Council to the establish-
ment of a Royal Grammar School, he submitted to
Parliament a plan for its connection with the Univer-
sity ; and his proposal having been acceded to, the title
of the Royal Grammar School was changed to that of
Upper Canada College, and the institution opened for
the purposes of tuition on the 4th January 1830. The
institution stands in the same relation to the Univer-
sity, as the Preparatory and High schools of other
Universities, although supported by an endowment of
its own, besides the ordinary tees from pupils. At
present it is placed under the management of the Sen-
ate of the University of Toronto; but the principal,
masters, and teachers are appointed by the Governor.
Prizes of books and certificates of honor are given
every year to those who distinguish themselves in any
of the subjects taught in the College. His Excellency
the Governor General offers annually a valuable prize
of books for the best examinations m the higher de-
partments of the College curriculum. At the annual
public examination in July exhibitions are competed
for, varying in value from $120 to $40 per annum.
Com pet it ion for them all is open to the grammar schools
of the whole Province. More than 2,500 of the youth
of the Province have received their education, in whole
or in part, in Upper Canada College. The first classi-
cal, and the mathematical masters, were pupils of the
institution, as were likewise the greater portion of the
medal-men, scholars, and honor-men of our Univer-
sities.

University of Victoria College, Cohourg.— The exist-
ence of this College is due to the efforts of the Confe-
rence of the W esle van Methodist Church. During
the years 1828 and 1829, plans were devised for the
establishment of an Academy for the superior educa-
tion of both sexes; and in 1830, the Conference ap-
pointed a committee to collect subscriptions, and
select a site for the proposed institution, which they
then named Upper Canada Academy.

After offers of donations of land and money from
various parts of the Province, the town of Cobourg
was selected, for the liberality of its offer and central
position. Upwards of $28,000 were collected, and in
the autumn of 1832 the buildings were commenced
Various circumstances, however, delayed the comple
tion of the work; and it was not until the 18th June
1836, that the Academy was formally opened. On the
12th October of the same year, a Royal charter of in-
corporation was obtained; and also, about the same
time, a public grant, principally through the exertions
of the chief originator of the college, the rev. Eger-
ton ltyerson, D.D., LL.D. In 1841 application was
made to Parliament for an alteration in the constitu-
tion of the academy, and its establishment as a uni-
versity ; and accordingly the Act 4 and 5 Victoria, cap.
37, was passed, conferring the usual University powers
upon its authorities, under the title of “ Victoria Col-
lege at Cobourg.” Under this Act the management of
the college is entrusted to a board, composed of nine
trustees and five visitors appointed by the Conference,
and to a senate, composed of the president, professors,
members of the board, and certain officers of Govern-
ment, for the time being. The Faculty of Arts has
been in operation since 1842. In 1854 an arrangement
was made with the Toronto School of Medicine, by
which that institution became the Faculty of Medicine
of the University; and in 1862 a Faculty of Law was
added to the University. The High school, or prepar-
atory department, sustains to the College the relation
of a Grammar or High school, and is designed to qual-
ify pupils for the University course, or to give them an
elementary training in any or all of the following sub-
jects, viz. : arithmetic, geography, history, English

University of Queen's College, Kingston. — Queen's
College was established by the Synod of the Presbyte-
rian Church of Canada, in connection with the Church
of Scotland, and was originally incorporated by an act
of the Parliament of Upper Canada, 3 Viet, cap 35, as
The University at Kingston. This act, however, was
disallowed, and a Royai Charter granted the following
year, bearing date 10th October 1841, and conferring
the title of “ Queen's College at Kingston," with power
to confer degrees in the several arts and faculties.
No religious test or qualification is required of persons
matriculated or admitted to a degree, “ save only that
all persons admitted within the said College to any de-
gree in Divinity, shall make the same declarations and
subscriptions as are required of persons admitted to
any degree in Divinity in the University of Edin-
burgh." The management of the institution is en-
trusted to twenty-seven trustees— twelve clergymen
and fifteen laymen— appointed by the Synod of the
Church ; and to a College Senate, composed of the prin-
cipal and professors for the time being. In 1846 the
property originally vested in the corporation created
by the disallowed Act of 1840, was transferred to
the corporation of Queen’s College by the Act of 9
Vic., cap. 89. The institution is supported by income
from endowment, a grant from the Legislature, sub-
scriptions, and assistance from Church funds. By the
charter its income may be 1 15,000 sterling per annum.
It is the only University in Upper Canada which con-
tains the four faculties of arts, theology, law and med-
icine. Its endowment fund amounts to $101,738, and
its annual income to about $13,300, including a Parlia-
mentary grant of $5,000 to the Faculty of Arts, and
$1,000 to the Faculty of Medicine, and $1,703 from the
Colonial committee of the Church of Scotland to the
Faculty of Theology. The number of professors in
the several faculties is eighteen, including the prin-
cipal. The number of students is about one hundred
and eighty.

University <f Trinity College, Toronto. — Trinity Col-
lege owes its establishment to the persevering efforts of
the present Bishop of Toronto, the right rev. Dr.
Strachan. Previous to the opening of the Provincial
University, and about two years before the organiza-
tion of its Faculty of Divinity, the Bishop established
a Diocesan Theological College at Cobourg, for the
education of candidates for Holy orders, and appointed
one of his chaplains to be professor of divinity for his
diocese. This arrangement continued during the ex-
istence of a similar professorship in the University,,
and became the means of educating about nine-tenths
of the clergy who were ordained during the contin-
uance of the two theological schools.

The Act of 1849, while it abolished the distinctive
theological character of the Provincial University,,
continued its professors. Measures, however, were
adopted, in 1850, for the establishment of Trinity Col-
lege; and an appeal was made by the Bishop to the
members of the Church of England in Canada and
England. The appeal was liberally responded to. In
1851, Parliament incorporated the proposed ( hurch in-
stitution, under the title of “Trinity College;" and on
the 15th of Jan. 1852, the College was formally opened
for the admission of students. On the 10th of July of the
same year, after correspondence and modification of
the original draft, a Royal Charter was obtained, con-
ferring the usual University powers to grant degrees
in divinity, law, medicine, and arts The corpora-
tion created by the Act consists of the Bishop and such
persons as he may appoint to be the trustees and coun-
cil of the College, and may hold property to the value
of $20,000 per annum, subject to the provision that
“the corporation shall at all times, when called upon
so to do by the Governor of the Province, render an
account in writing of their property, setting forth in
particular the amount of income, and from \\ hat pro-
perty derived; and also the number of members or the
corporation, the number of teachers and students, and
the course of instruction pursued."

This University confers no degree whatever unless
the candidate has previously taken the oath of allegi-
ance and supremacy, and subscribed the following

declaration : “ I, , do willingly and heartily

declare that I am truly and sincerely a member of the
United Church of England and Ireland.”

The institution is liberally endowed by private sub-
scriptions of money and lands, and grants from public
bodies. The buildings for the University were erected
at a cost of nearly $56,000. About $200,000 were col-
lected to form endowment. The annual income of the
College is about. $17,000. The number of professors is
seven, including the provost, or head of the College.

real and personal estate. In 1837 it was incorporated
under the title of “The College of Regiopolis,” and in
1845 the trustees under the will were authorized by
Act of Parliament to convey the legacy to the corpo-
ration, and the latter authorized to hold real property
to the value of $12,000 per annum, subject to the fol-
lowing provision : “It shall be incumbent on the said
College to submit annually to each of the three
branches of the Legislature, if so required, a detailed
statement of the real property held by them under this
Act, and of the annual revenue arising therefrom.”

SKETCH OF THE PROGRESS OF EDUCATION IN LOWER CANADA.

The Government of Old France had given a great
deal of attention to the subject of public instruction in
Canada. It appears that the first school in Canada
was opened at Three Rivers in 1616 by Father Pacifique
Duplessis, a Franciscan. In 1618 a school was a'so in
operation, at Tadoussac, under Father Joseph LeC'aron,
of the same order. The Jesuits opened a school at Que-
bec in 1632, which became a great and flourishing Col-
lege The Seminary at Quebec was founded by Mgr.
De Laval in 1663. The College of St. Sulpice at Mon-
treal. (1773), and the Nunnery of the Ursulines at Que-
bec, (1640) were also among the first institutions opened
in this country. The Freres ( harrons, a religious order,
and subsequently the Fibres des Ecoles ChrStiennes,
also had schools for elementary education in Canada
under the French regime, but they were discontinued
after a short time. The pious Marguerite Bourgeois,
whose name is now surrounded with veneration by all
Canadians, founded, in 1653, the order of La Congre-
gation de Notre Dame, which has now in the city of
Montreal alone 4000 pupils, and numerous convents all
over Canada, the Provinces below, and the U. States.

The Franciscans had a good many elementary schools
for boys before the Conquest, and the Jesuits supported
out of* their revenues several lay teachers, who were
mostly old pupils of their college. The two orders
having been suppressed during the first years of the new
regime, there remained for a long time scarcely any
other schools but the two Seminaries of Quebec and
Montreal, the Convents of the Ursulines at Quebec and
at Three Rivers, and the schools of the Congregation
of Notre Dame at .Montreal and at several villages
throughout the country. Indeed, although the Sisters
did not admit boys into their schools, a great portion
of the education received by the men in the country
parishes is due to them; many a mother who was
taught by them, having in her turn educated her own
children of both sexes.

Lord Dorchester, Governor of the Province of Que-
bec, appointed, in 1787, a commission to inquire into
the subject of education. That commission recommend-
ed the establishment of an elementary school in each
parish, of a mode) school in each county, and of a non-
sectarian university. The whole was to be endowed

with the Jesuits' estates and by grants from the Crown
lands- Bishop Hubert opposed the plan, whilst bis
coadjutor, Bishop Baillv, supported it; and ultimate-
ly it was dropped by the Government. In 1801, the
Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning
was created; but the members of the Board being
composed of men with whom the great majority of the
people had no sympathies, and the teaehers being
mostly imported from the United Kingdom, and with-
out any knowledge of the French language, it was a
decided failure. After twenty years of existence, it
had 37 schools and 1048 pupils. It reached as a max-
imum 84 schools and 3675 pupils. In 1824, the Legis-
lature passed an Act entitled, “ An Act for the En-
couragement and Endowment of Elementary schools
in the Parishes.” That Act provided for the estab-
lishment of one school in each parish, through the
agency of the fabriqnes, which are corporate bodies,
instituted under the old laws of France, consisting of
the cur 6 or rector, and of the marguilliers or church-
wardens. It provided that whenever the parish would
number more than two hundred families, a second
school could be opened. The fabrigue was authorized
to acquire and possess one acre of land whereon to
build a new schoolhouse, and to apply one fourth of
its revenues to the maintenance of the schools.

Tn 1829 an Act was passed providing for the election
of school trustees in each parish or township— for the
payment of a salary of twenty pounds to each teacher
whose school would number twenty pupils, with an
addition of ten shillings for each pupil Delonging to
any poor family taught free in the scnool. The same
statute provided also that the Government was to pay
one half of the building of school-houses, under cer-
tain conditions; the whole amount not to exceed
£2000 per annum. Several Acts were subsequently
passed amending and extending those previous Acts.
They contain provisions for aid to colleges and girls’
academies, and various sums voted to Mr. Perrault
and to the Quebec Education society for the introduc-
tion of the Lancasterian system. A deaf and dumb in-
stitute at Quebec was also provided for, and under
the auspices of Mr. Ronald Macdonald, who had been
instructed by Mr. Leclerc, himself a disciple of the
Abbd de Lep6e, it realized every expectation.

Various wise enactments for collecting statistics, for
visiting schools by Members of Parliament, and for the
distribution of prize-books, were made. One of the
statutes provided also for the erection of a Normal
School; and the Rev. John Holmes, principal of the
Seminary of Quebec, was sent to Europe with a view
of visiting the normal schools of the old world, and of
procuring professors, books, apparatus, and collec-
tions of natural history. He returned towards the
end of 1836, with Mr. Jtegnaud, the director of a Nor-
mal school m France, and Mr. Findlaterfrom Scotland.
A Normal school was opened in Montreal; but the
troubles having broken out a short time after, and the
Constitution having been suspended, the school had to
be given up. Mr. Findlater went back to Scotland,
and Mr. Regnaud, finding employment here as a land
surveyor, remained in the country, and is now a pro-
fessor in the Jacques Cartier Normal School.

The provisions for the maintenance of the Common
Schools having been allowed to fall through by the Le-
gislative Council, during its quarrels with the House of
Assembly, the system which had been graduallymatur-
ing itself* was destroyed. This was the second great blow
aimed at the educational institutions of Lower Canada.
The first was the confiscation of the Jesuits’ and Fran-
ciscans’ estates, shortly after the Conquest. When
the second calamity befel us, there was under the
operation of the law* 1600 schools, wherein 40,000 chil-
dren were taught; most of which had to be closed.
In the meantime, however, several colleges had been
erected and were in a most flourishing condition.
When Lord Durham came here, with all the powers
and attributes of vice-royalty, he found, as he had
stated, Lower Canada in the anomalous position of a
country where superior education was amply pro-
vided for, while nothing almost was done for elemen-
tary education. In his Report, however, he paid to
our classical institutions a just tribute of praise.

After the Union of the Provinces, the Legislature
passed, in 1841, a law for the establishment and mainte-
nance of public schools. It provided for the appoint-
ment of a Superintendent of Education for the whole
Province, and appropriated a sum of £50,000 for the

support of common schools, to be apportioned between
the several municipal districts in proportion to the
number of children of school age in each of them. The
Hon. Mr. Jamieson was appointed Superintendent un-
der this law ; but to meet the wants of the two sections
of the Province, the Rev. Mr. Murray and Dr. Meilleur
were also appointed Superintendents, the former for
Upper and the latter for Lower Canada. Dr. Meilleur
had been a member of the Provincial Parliament of Low-
er Canada for several years, and had published various
elementary works. He had also been one of the found-
ers and directors of the College of L’Assomption. In
1845 another law was passed, applying chiefly to
Lower Canada, and providing for the appointment of
a S u peri nten dent for each section, and containing a
great many new regulations that had been omitted in
the first law. This was again superseded by the law of
1846, which is the foundation of the several laws
now in force. One of its most important features
was that it made the assessment compulsory, and
did away with the voluntary contributions. That
important step was however altered in 1840, when
a law containing various amendments, most of which,
giving to the Superintendent powers of a quasi ju-
dicial nature in matters controverted between the
parties to the school law, restored the voluntary con-
tribution, which however, at present, in most of the
Municipalities, the good sense of the people has set
aside for the legal assessment. It also contained new
provisions concerning the monthly fees and the powers
of the Boards of Examiners. Another law pa-sed in
1851, provided for the establishment of a Normal School
and tor the appointment of School Inspectors. In 1855,
Dr. Meilleur resigned his oftice, and was appointed to
that of postmaster at Montreal. He left a name un-
tarnished for his assiduity, perseverance, and integrity,
and considering the great difficulties he had to contend
with, by the violent opposition to school assessment,
made in several parts of the country by contemptible
seekers of popular fame, justly branded with the F rench
name of cteignoirs, he may be said to have been gene-
rally successful in his administration. Dr. Meilleur
is now without a situation, and his claims on the Go-
vernment for a pension are strongly urged by all the
friends of education. He was succeeded by the Hon.
Pierre J. O. Chauveau, who had been a Slember of
Parliament for the County of Quebec during eleven
years, and had filled successively the offices of Solic-
itor General for Low r er Canada and of Secretary of the
Province.

In his first report, Mr. Chauveau recommended va-
rious reforms; and for the accomplishment of most of
them, two laws w r ere passed in the session of 1856. One
of them chiefly relates to superior, the other to elemen-
tary education. The most important features of this
new legislation consisted in providing for the distribu-
tion through the Superintendent, and on his report, of
the annualgrants to Universities, Colleges, Academies,
and Model Schools; the creation of several Normal
Schools instead of one; the publication of Journals of
Education; the appointment of a Council of Public
Instruction, and the creation of a teachers’ pension
fund, on the same principle as that of Upper Canada.
These measures have all been carried into effect. There
are now published tw r o Journals of Education, one in
French and the other in English. They are issued alter-
nately every fortnight, are conducted by the Superin-
tendent with an assistant for each of them, and, with
the exception of the official notices, the articles and
selections are different in each. The price of subscrip-
tion is one dollar for each. Teachers are allowed a
copy of both, or two copies of either for the same price.
It is sent free to public institutions, and to the School
Commissioners for their use and that of teachers unable
to subscribe. Each number contains one or more illus-
trations. The issue of the Journal de L’ Instruct ion
Publique is 4,000 copies, that of the Journal of Educa-
tion 2,000. The former has nearly 1100 paving sub-
scribers, the latter about 400. Both Journals have been
mentioned in the most flattering terms in the report of
the Jury of the London Exhibition of 1862 on the Edu-
cational department, and a first class medal has been
granted to their editor. These will enter on their eighth
volume on the 1st January 1864.

The Jacques Cartier and McGill Normal Schools were
inaugurated in Montreal on the 2nd of March, 1857.
The Laval Normal School was opened at Quebec on the
I 15tli of May of the same year. The McGill Normal

two others are intended for Catholics ; and the teaching
is carried on chiefly in French. The English language
is however taught to the French pupils; and arrange-
ments have been made that instruction may be also im-
parted to any English pupil-teacher in his own verna-
cular. In the Model Schools there are French and
English teachers, about an equal number of children
of each origin, and the two languages are placed precise-
ly on the same footing. The McGill School started with
the boys’ and girls’ department in full operation. The
girls’ department ot the Laval Normal School was
opened on the 15th of September 1857. The girls are
boarders at the Ursuline Couvent, but the instruction
is chiefly imparted by the professors of the Normal
School. The girls’ department of the Jacques Cartier
Normal School is not yet organized.

These figures give more than the number of pupils
who have retired from the Normal schools with di-
plomas, several having obtained diplomas in each de-
gree. The total number of pupils who had graduated

was as follows :

At the Jacques Cartier school 79

At the McGill school 167

At the Laval school 160

Besides carrying into effect the several provisions of
the laws above mentioned, Mr. Chauveau has also re-
organized the department by the appointment of more
clerks, and a better division of labor; assisted in the
creation of the Association of Teachers in connection
with the Normal schools; caused the distribution of
prize-books by the inspectors on their visits; and
rormod a departmental library, winch numbers about
9,000 volumes.

The pecuniary responsibilities, as well as the corres-
ondence and general business of the department, has
een greatly increased, and both are still daily increas-
ing.

In the year 1862, the sum of $256,769 was distributed
under the following heads: Common School fund,
$112,054 ; Superior Education, $69,888 ; Normal schools,
$36,888; Journals of Education, $2,839; Government
grant, $1,800; Teachers’ Tension fund, $2,464; Depart-
mental Library, $1,797; Toor Municipalities, $3,913;
School Inspectors, $19,025; Prize Books, $1,522; Con-
tingencies, $6,224.

Separate accounts, with vouchers, in duplicate, are
kept for each of these heads o* expenditure, and the

payments take place through an immense number of
small checks.

The following registers have to be kept: a register
of the election and appointment of school commission-
ers and school trustees; a register of the appointment
of members of boards of examiners; a register of the
diplomas granted to teachers by the boards of examin-
ers; three registers of the Normal school diplomas; a
register of the daily correspondence; a register of spe-
cial reports to the executive government; a register
of the erection or separation of school municipalities;
a register of the decisions given or sentences adduced
by the superintendent on appeals in the settlement of
accounts between the school commissioners and their
secretary-treasurers, on the appeals from the decisions
of the school commissioners as to the formation of
school districts, and oil the selection of school sites :
also of the documents authorizing the sale of school
property by school authorities ; and lastly, a register of
the proceedings of the council of public instruction.

The importance of the work in the statistical depart-
ment appears by the publication of the annual report.

The correspondence is kept on fyles, each case re-
ceiving a number which it retains until it is termin-
ated. The fyles for 1863 have reached 3,300, each con-
taining on an average three drafts of letters. Besides
the mailing of several thousand copies of the annual
report, and of the Journals of Education, numerous
blanks and documents are daily sent and received.
The number of letters and documents sent in 1862 was
11,738; the number received, 8,275. In 1863 the former
have reached 14,500, and the latter 8.761.

The legislation which has taken place since 1856 has
been chiefly to define the powers of the department
and those of the council of public instruction. The
council was organized on the 16th of December 1859.

Its chief attributes are the forming of rules and reg-
ulations for school discipline, the selection of books,
maps, &c., to be used in schools, to the exclusion of
all others; to provide rules for the classification of
schools and of teachers; to provide for the organiza-
tion and government of boards of examiners, and for
all matters concerning the granting of diplomas to
teachers; and lastly, to revoke the said diplomas on
trial of the accused in cases of immorality or neglect
of duty.

The council has appointed three standing commit-
tees : one for the forming and maintaining of rules for
its own internal discipline, one for the selection of
books for schools, and a third for the forming of rules
and regulations for the various objects above men-
tioned.

In order to meet the difficulty which always occurs
in the selection of school books from the fact that
even books of purely secular instruction are often more
or less tainted with the religious views of their authors,
the Council have agreed that the recommendations
from the Committee on books will be of three different
natures: books are recommended either by the whole
Committee, or by the Trotestant members, or by the
Catholic members only. The committee of approval
mention the facts whereby parents and teachers are
made aware of the religious tendency of the books.

The Council have adopted rules and regulations for
the guidance of Boards ot Examiners with programmes,
which can be obtained in pamphlet form by applying
to the Education office or to any of the Inspectors of
Schools. (*)

The local jurisdiction of the Boards has been defined,
and six of them only, viz., the Trotestant and Catholic
Boards of Quebec and of Montreal, the Boards of Sher-
brooke and of Three Rivers, have the power of granting
diplomas for Academies and for Model Schools.

file difference between these diplomas or certificates
and those granted by the Superintendent to the pupils
of the Normal Schools is that the former are only good
for the space of three years and over a limited portion of
Lower Canada, while the latter confer the power of
teaching in the whole extent of Lower Canada and
need not be renewed.

It has been found that under these new rules and
regulations a great advance has already been made in
the qualifications of teachers, and the department has
been enforcing the law more rigidly. Municipalities
employing unlicensed teachers lose the annual govern-
ment grant.

The system of inspection followed in Lower Canada
has been frequently objected to, and the Superinten-
dent has been directed to make a special report on
the subject. In that document, published by order of
Parliament, the Superintendent strives first to estab-
lish the importance of inspection, and quotes the au-
thority of statesmen of other countries. Among others
the following passage from Mr. Guizot’s Memoirs is
to be found in the said report: —

“ Another plan, unforeseen and difficult of execu-
tion, appeared to me necessary in order to establish
relations with the teachers dispersed throughout
France, to know them really and to act upon them in
other ways than by casual and empty words. One
month after the promulgation of the new law, I order-
ed a general inspection of all the elementary schools
in the kingdom, public or private. I desired not only
to verify the external and material facts which usually
form the object of statistical inquiries on the question
of primary instruction, — such as the number of schools
and scholars, their classification, their age, and the
incidental expenses of the service,— but I particularly
directed the Inspector to study the interior economy
of the schools, the aptitude, zeal, and conduct of the
teachers, their relations with the pupils, the families,
and the local authorities, civil and religious ; in a word,
the moral state of that branch of education, and its
results. Facts of this nature cannot be ascertained at
a distance, by means of correspondence, or descriptions.
Special visits, personal communication, and a close
examination of men and things, are indispensable to
this just estimate and understanding. Four hundred
and ninety persons, the greater number of whom were
functionaries of every order in the university, gave
themselves up during four months to this arduous
investigation. Thirty-three thousand four hundred
and fifty-six schools were actually visited, and minutely
described in the Reports addressed to me by the In-
spectors. One amongst the number, with whose rare
anility and indefatigable zeal I had long been familiar,
Mr. Lorain, now an honorary rector, drew up from
these collected Reports a table of elementary instruc-
tions in France in 1833, even more remarkable for the
moral and practicable views therein developed, than
for the number and variety of the facts comprised. This

laborious undertaking not only had the effect of giving
me a more complete and precise knowledge of the con-
dition and real necessities of elementary instruction,
but it furnished the public, in the most remote corners
of the country, with a living instance of the active soli-
citude of the Government for popular education. At
the same time it powerfully stimulated the teachers,
bv impressing on them a sense of the interest attached
to their office, and of the vigilance with which they
were overlooked. _

“ Two years later, on my proposition, a Royal decree
transformed this casual and single inspection of the
Elementarv Schools into a permanent arrangement.
In every district an Inspector was appointed to visit
the schools at stated periods, and to communicate fully
to the Minister, the Rectors, the Prefects, and the
General and Municipal Councils their condition and
wants. , , . .

“ Since that time, and throughout repeated debates,
whether in the Chambers or in the Local and Elective
Councils, the utility of this institution has become so
apparent, that, at the request of a majority of the
councils, an Inspector has been established in every
district, and the periodical inspection of Elementary
Schools has taken its place in the administration of
public instruction as one of the most effective guaran-
tees of their sufficiency and progress.”

The Superintendent thus concludes.

“ I recapitulate as follows : — I should prefer some im-
provement of the present system to any actual change,
as I have shewn at the close of the lirst section of this
report ; 2. The reduction of the number of inspectors,
so as to increase the amount of remuneration and yet
to diminish the actual expenditure, seems to me very
difficult to be effected. Assuming such a reduction, 1
should recommend the plan set forth in table l>.
Twelve districts, instead of ten laid down in the table,
would seem preferable, and afford room to dimmish
the extent of Districts 3, 6, and 7. But in that case it
would be requisite either to lower the proposed rates
of salaries, or otherwise to give up the hope of any
saving. With twelve inspectors and the following
scale of salaries, $1,200, $1,400, and $ 1 , 600 , we should
roach $16,300, and effect a saving of rather more than
$600. I fear the ab®ve rates of salary would be too

Almanac. 1864.]

EDUCATION — LOWER CANADA

low. It would be found necessary to turn to the con-
sideration of another system of remuneration, that of
allowing so much for fees for each school visitation,
and so much for travelling expenses per day when
absent from place of residence. 3. It does not appear
to me practicable, in the present state of the municipal
system of Lower Canaria and of the law respecting
public instruction, to relieve this department from the
expense and labor of the inspection of schools, and it
is my sincere conviction, that for a long time to come,
no system of purely municipal inspection can be
brought to work with advantage."

The following is a recapitulation of all the educa-
tional institutions of Lower Canada. The Superior
schools comprise Universities and schools of Law and
of Medicine; Secondary schools are Classical col-
leges, Industrial colleges, and Academics; Special
schools are Deaf and Dumb institutes, schools of Ag-
riculture, and schools of Arts and Manufactures; and
Primary schools comprise Model and Elementary
schools, fhe Model schools receive from $70 to $100
from the Superior Education fund. Some of the large
Charity schools in the town receive larger grants.

The following tables are an abstract from the last
triennial report of the Superintendent, and contain

the most valuable part of the information on the Su-
perior, Secondary, and Special schools. From an order
passed by the joint committee of the two Houses of
Parliament on printing, this information is published
at full length only every third year. All the other fig-
ures are from the last annual report.

Since the compilation of the following tables a few
institutions have been established, among which we
notice “ Morrin College," at Quebec ; the “Academy St.
Denis," by the ladies of the congregation Notre Dame,
at Montreal ; and a School of Agriculture, at St. Th6-
r5se of Blainville.

Morrin College is affiliated to the McGill University,
and is installed in the fine building known as the Free-
masons’ Hall, in Quebec. It was founded chiefly by a
bequest of the late Dr. Morrin, for a period of many
years one of the ablest and most esteemed physicians
of Quebec.

The “Academy St. Denis" is a day school, of a su-
perior character, which the ladies of the congregation
of Notre Dame have opened in Montreal. It is attended
by over 100 pupils.

The School of Agriculture of St. Th6r5se de Blain-
ville is acting, in the district of Montreal, the same
art as the school at Ste. Anne, in the district of Que-
ec. There is a model farm attached to the establish-
ment. The Lower Canada Board of Agriculture has
just now founded nineteen scholarships, to be divided
between the two schools, and to be given to competi-
tors one in each of the judiciary districts. The pre-
sentation devolves on a meeting of the presidents of
the county agricultural associations in each district.
Each scholarship is fixed at $50.

GROSSE ISLE, C. E.

The Provincial Quarantine Establishment is situated
on the River St. Lawrence opposite, the village of St.
Thomas. The Island is healthy, and is surrounded by
scenery of a very picturesque character. It is two and
a half miles in length, and about a mile in width. A
solid, substantial wharfhasbeen built, having a depth of
seventeen feet at low water, at which vessels or steamers
mav land or embark passengers. This Island is the pro-
perty of the Province, and is wholly devoted to quaran-
tine purposes. No persons but those belonging, or
necessary to the establishment, are allowed to reside
on the Island, or to visit it without a pass from the
provincial secretary at Quebec. Emigrant ships arriv-
ing in Canada are rigorously compelled to stop at
Grosse Isle until inspected by the medical superintend-
ent, and the passengers passed clean and healthy. A
large warehouse, as well as ample sheds, and every re-
quisite appliance, are provided on the western extrem-
ity of the Island foremigrants ordered, by the medical
superintendent, to land from on board of vessels in
which malignant or contagious diseases may have made
their appearance during the voyage, and for the clean-
sing and purification or their luggage. There are hos- I

itals situated at the eastern end of the Island ; the
esidence of the principal officers being in the centre,
io communication is permitted between the two ex-
remities of the Island, unless a written pass is granted
v the superintendent. Two clergymen, respectively
f the Church of England and the Roman Catholic
fflurch, are stationed at the establishment during the
eason of navigation. A provision dealer is allowed
o contract, under certain conditions, to furnish sup-
ilies for the Island. A small force of police is con-
tantlv on the Island while the establishment is m
iperation. There is no post office; but letters, whether
o persons connected with the quarantine, or to
jers, are forwarded regularly twice a week through the
jmigrant office in Quebec — a steamer being annually
mgaged to maintain constant, but only authorized,
jommunication between Quebec and Grosse Isle. Dis*
ance from Quebec about 29 miles. Geo.M. Douglas,

BANKS— CANADA.

The following review of the Bank statements for
September is condensed from an article in the Mont-
real Witness:

The auditor’s summary of Bank statements for Sept.
1863 gives results as follows : —

Capital paid up $26,807,642

Deducting $1,849,334 for the capital of the Bank of
B. N. A. not employed in this Province, we find a to-
tal Bank capital of $24,958,308 for Canada, which is an
increase of $26,000 over that of last month.

Circulation $10,121,221

Due to other Banks 648,306

Deposits not bearing interest 11,216,590

Deposits bearing interest 10,904,879

Deducting total liabilities from total assets, we have
30,235,402, which represents the interest which me
ockholders of the Banks have in them. As that in*
rest, in the way of capital amounts to S24,9;>8,3< 8 K
ppears there is a surplus over and above capital oi
277,094. The greater part of this consists ot reserve
mds or rests,— the balance being made up ot unpaia

Comparison of the present return with former ones

In circulation there is a large increase. On 31st Aug ’
it was $9,097,000; on 30th Sept, it reached $10,121 221-
the increase being a little more than a million dollars,
or 11 per cent. Between the lowest point reached this
year, viz., on 30th June, and the present, there is an
increase ol $1,300,000, which is in great part due to
sums paid out for produce. The movement of circula-
tion this summer has been very different from that of
last year. Then, the lowest point was touched on 31st
August, and the increase which took place in Septem-
ber only brought the circulation up to the point it
occupied on 30th June. This year, the lowest point
was reached on the 30th June; from which date there
has been a gradual rise. The increase in September of
last year was $581,000 only; this year it is $1,024,000;
which indicates a lar more active business in produce’.
But even with this large increase, the total amount
' a u lort °* the same period of last year by $518,000.
As the circulation at this period is indicative of the
business done in the way of forwarding crops to the
market, we give a statement of its amount for several
years past, in the months of August and September : —

-« qc q August. September. Increase.

8,688,000 9,882,000 1,194,000

8,516,000 9,921,000 1,405,000

}860 10,739,000 12 998,000 2,259,000

1861 12,044,000 13,291,000 1,247,000

1862 10,058,000 10,639,000 581,000

1888 9,097,000 10,121,000 1,024,000

1 he year 1860 stands preeminent for the amount of
business done ; it was most unfortunately preeminent,
also, for the number and amount of disasters occasion-
ed by it. The circumstances of the present season are
peculiar. Along with an almost total cessation of de-
mand tor wheat and flour from England,— owing to
the abundant crops there, we have seen an active
demand spring up from the States for the liner qua-
lities of the same articles, and also for a grain that was
formerly held scarcely to be of any account, namely
barley. Large quantities of this grain have been
brought to market and shipped, at prices which would
have been deemed fabulous a tew years ago.

■ mfe 68 ^ 116 to other Banks have been reduced from
$1,218,000 to $648,000. The amount of reduction is
very large, and a considerable part is shewn in the
return ot the Bank of Upper Canada, which owed other
ofy. k o ^8,000 on 31st August; but only $147,000 on
30th kept. I he Commercial Bank decreased also under
this head $111,000.

Deposits exhibit a considerable increase. Last month
they amounted to $21,327,000, this month they have
risen to $22,121,000; the largest amount ever returned
under this head. Ihe steady and gradual increase of
the total deposit line, is a very gratifying circumstance,
and points to an accumulation of capital in the coun-
ty. which will have much to do with lowering the rate
of interest on money, and developing the resources of
the country in an economical manner.— Hitherto there
has been a good deal of neglect in this last particular.
Money has been borrowed at high rates for the exten-
sion of agricultural operations, milling, manufactures
and what not, all good in themselves, but which may
be purchased at too great a price. The consequence is
that vast numbers of farms, mills, stores, Ac have
cost far more than they are worth, and though a fu-
ture generation may reap the benetit, the people of the
present have been in many instances ruined There
are villages in which the property is mortgaged for
probably more than the whole place would sell for at
the present moment; and mainly on account of the
money borrowed being at such a heavy rate of interest
that fresh mortgages had to be taken in addition to
the original ones in order to provide for it
Turning from liabilities to assets, the first item is
wind. 1 has increased from $6,913,000 to
$7,24< ,000. J his increase was not necessary in order to
keep the banks strong, for they had abundance pre-
viously; and now the Bank of Montreal has conside-
rably more specie than its circulation. For every
dollar of bills out, it has a dollar in gold, and a good
deal to spare. The other banks, too, are mostly in a
very good position in this respect, and a lew are nearly
as strong in specie as the Bank of Montreal. We hope
they may continue so to be, and do not know of any
reason to prevent it.

1863.

RAILWAYS-

The first railway in Canada was begun in 1835. It I
was a lino, 16 miles in length, from Laprairie on the St. |
Lawrence to St. John’s. The road was opened with
horses in July, 1836, and first worked with locomotives
in 1837. The first railway in Upper Canada on which
locomotives were used was the Northern, from Toronto
to Bradford, opened in June, 1853.

Up to the close of 1858, there had been constructed
in Canada 1,614 miles of railway, of which 1,575 miles
were in operation. In 1859, the Cobourg and Peter-
borough Railway, 28 miles, was re-opened, and 248
miles of new lines were completed, inspected, and
opened; and 29 miles in 1860, making a total of 1,880
miles of railway in operation on the 1st January 1861,
under 16 different corporations. The number of miles
constructed each year is shown by the following
table : —

and capital of the District of Three Rivers, situat-
ed on the N orth shore of the St. Lawrence at. the
debouchure of the River St. Maurice, in the Seigniory
of Ste. Marguerite and County of St. Maurice, and
equidistant (90 miles) from the cities of Montreal and
Quebec 1 he law courts for the District are held here,
presided over by a resident judge. Three Rivers is the
seat of a Roman Catholic bishop: anTthc cariie^al
recently erected, is one of the finest in British North
America. 1 he improvement of the River St. Maurice

every facility for shipbuilding. The Banks of Upper
Canada, and Quebec, have their agencies here. There
are also an ellicient Hook and Ladder Company, effi-
cient lire companies, and a company of volunteer rifles.
There is a Mechanics’ Institute, a reading room, an
extensive college, and several first-class educational
establishments. The causes that have hitherto militat-
ed against the development of the numerous resources
of to© District,— namely, the lack of railway com-
munication. and the extent of impracticable naviga-
tion of the St. Maurice in rear of the city,— the Govern-
ment has taken measures to remove. The recent enact-
ments for the relief of the Grand Trunk Railway pro-
vide for a branch road connecting Three Rivers with
Arihabaska; thus opening a direct communication
W1 thhve New England States, all requiring lumber,
and Ihree Rivers being the nearest and cheapest
market whence they can obtain it. There is another
Act, of Parliament providing for the construction ot
a branch from Three Rivers to the Grand Tiles on the
bt. Maurice, whence the river is navigable seventy
miles further. This road will be a great boon to
lumbermen, and facilitate the settlement of the coun-
try. Phe famous Falls of Shawenegan, second only to
those ot Niagara, are twenty-four miles from Three
Rivers, and those ot the Grand M&re thirteen miles
further up the St. Maurice. Mail daily. Population

REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT.

The Legislative Assembly of Canada comprises 130
members, 65 from each section of the Province. As
the population’ of Upper Canada is increasing ranch
more rapidly than that of Lower Canada, the question
of representation is becoming a difficulty of formi-
dable proportions. For several years back a system of
representation according to population has been con-
tended for bv a majority of the members from Western
Canada, and as constantly opposed by the representa-
tives from the eastern section, aided by a minority in
Upper Canada.

session of Parliament, on the 14th Aug.,
I8b3, the Hon. George Brown gave notice that he
would move the following resolution •

“ That on the 2nd February 1859, the Hon. George
E. Cartier, the Hon. A. T. Galt, and the Hon. John
Ross, toon members of the Executive Council of this
Province, while in London, and acting on behalf of
the Government of which they were members, did
address a despatch to the Colonial Minister, in which
they declared that very grave difficulties now present
themselves in conducting the Government of Canada
m such a manner as to show due regard to the wishes
of its numerous population;— That ‘differences exist
to an extent which prevents any perfect and complete
assimilation ot the views of the two sections;’ — That
‘the progress of population has been more rapid in
J , TT. es ^ p . rn . 8Gc ^ 10 . n » a,, d claims are now made on
behalf of its inhabitants for giving them representa-
'im ir } Legislature in proportion to their numbers;

I hat ‘the result is shown by an agitation fraught

r progress o, „„ „

the necessity of providing a remedy for a state of
things that is yearly becoming worse, and of allaying
feelings that are daily being aggravated by the con-
tention of political parties, has impressed the advisers
ot Her Majesty’s Representative in Canada, with the
importance of seeking for such a mode of dealing with
tnese difficulties as may forever remove them.’— That a
©elect Committee of thirteen members be appointed
to enquire and report on the important subjects em-
braced in the said despatch, and the best means of
remedying the evils therein set forth.”

1n ;) bon the resolution came before the House on the
12th Oct. 1863, the Hon. Mr. Brown is reported to
nave said that he gave notice of this motion early in
the session, and intended to bring it up on the first
ntting opportunity; but ‘‘such had been the state of
political parties during the session, that he did not
feel justified m pressing the motion now, not because
t ne subject was not of the very greatest importance to
tins House and the country, but because it was con-
sidered it would be doing an injustice to the question
itself, to bring it up under the present circumstances.”

Almanac. 1864.] OTTAWA CANAL — RECIPROCITY TREATY.

205

THE PROJECTED OTTAWA CANAL.

Early in 1863, the state of Illinois addressed a memo-
rial to the Canadian Government, urging it to take im-
mediate steps for facilitating their communication with
Europe. For this purpose it was suggested that a canal
should be cut so as to connect Lake Nipissing with the
River Ottawa, and thus establish an uninterrupted
water communication between Chicago and the Atlan-
tic. An elaborate survey of the whole was made by
order of the Canadian Parliament, and a committee
appointed to investigate the matter. The report of this
committee was very encouraging.

The following is an extract from the Report of the |
Sub-Committee, (consisting of Messrs. II. L. ltouth,
Chairman, lion. Geo. Moffatt, John Esdaile, Ira Gould, !
W. P. McLaren, Walter Shanly, J. II. Joseph, John |
Grant, A. Cowan, and Tlios. Ryan,) nominated 19th
March 1863, to the Committee of the Montreal Board
of Trade appointed for the reception of the Delegates
from Illinois and Wisconsin.

“ Your Sub-Committee having carefully considered
the important question referred to them — that of an im-
proved navigable communication between Lake Huron
and Michigan and the St. Lawrence River, as the out-
let to the ocean,— now beg to report that they recom-
mend as the most eligible route to be adopted, that
surveyed in 1856-7 by Walter Shanly, Civil Engineer,
and in 1858-9 by T. C. Clarke, Civil Engineer; namely,
from the mouth of the French River, on the Georgian
Bav, by way of Lake Nippismg and the Matawan and
Ottawa Uivers to Montreal.

The relative distances between the furthest west lake-
port, Chicago, and our sea-port of Montreal by the
existing (Welland Canal) route, and by the proposed
new line of communication by the Ottawa, compare as
follows :

1st. Welland Route. Miles.

Lake Navigation 1,145

River “ 132

Canal “ 71

Total distance to Montreal 1348

2nd. Ottawa Route. Miles.

Lake navigation (including Nippising) 575

River do 347

Canal do 58

Total distance Chicago to Montreal 980

Difference in favor of Ottawa Route 368

And carrying our comparisons a step further we have,
from Chicago to New York.

3rd. The Erie Canal Route. Miles.

Lake navigation Chicago to Buffalo 1000

Canal “ Buffalo to Troy 350

River “ Troy to New York 150

Total distance Chicago to New York 1500

“ Chicago to Montreal by the Ottawa 980

Difference of distance in favor of Montreal 520

Trans-Atlantic distances also compare favorably for
us :

Miles.

New York to Liverpool 2980

Montreal to Liverpool 2740

Quebec to Liverpool 2580

Difference in favor of Montreal 240

And in favor of Quebec 400

Chicago to Liverpool by Lake Erie and New

York 4480

Chicago to Liverpool by Ottawa and Gulf of St.
Lawrence 3720

Difference in favor of Ottawa & Gulf Route 760

The leading advantages to be secured by such a line
of interior navigation as it is proposed to open, are to
be classed under the following heads :

1st. Time saved . — Because by this route grain could
be taken from all ports on Lake Michigan and de-
livered to sea-going vessels in Montreal two days
sooner than by the Welland route, or than by any other
route that can be constructed; and in fully eight days
less time than required to lay down in the harbor
of New York a cargo loaded in Chicago or Milwaukee.
The better condition for tinal transfer to ocean vessels
in which the grain will come to hand after the shorter
as compared with the longer inland voyage is a point
that will be conceded by all shippers, and is one of
such moment that it should be prominently kept in
view in contrasting the merits of the proposed route
with the existing and more circuitous ones between
Lake Michigan and tide-water.

2nd. Expenses saved.— In the item of Freight charges
alone the Montreal or Quebec merchant purchasing
grain in Chicago or Milwaukee, can effect an average
saving of fully four cents, after allowing a liberal es-
timate for tolls, on each bushel, as compared with
what it now costs him to bring it round by way of the
Welland Canal; while that which now goes from the
same points to New York by way of Lake Erie and
the Hudson, at. a cost, taking the average of the last
eight years, of twenty-seven cents per bushel, can be
delivered at the ship’s side in our harbor for 15 cents,
or in Quebec for eighteen cents per bushel, and, as
already observed, in superior shipping order, not only
on account of the shorter time it has been afloat, but
also owing to the more favorable atmospheric con-
ditions to which it has been subjected, in its passage
through the cooling waters of the Ottawa.

As an index to wliat the saving in freight would
amount to, even now, at the above differences in rates,
we subjoin the following statement of grain, and flour
reduced to grain, forwarded last year from Chicago,
and received, by water only, at Montreal in 1862, and
at New York in 1861.

Forwarded from Chicago by Lake and Railroad,

56,477,104 bushels.

Total receipts at Montreal by canal only, 15,227,878

bushels.

Total receipts at New York from canals only, 55,905,344

bushels.

According to Mr. Slianly’s scheme, with locks 250
feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, the cost would
be 824,000,000; but, reducing the locks to 8 leet deep,
he gives 816,000,000; or reducing the size to 160 by
33ft., and 8 ft. deep, he gives 814,000,000. Mr. Clark’s
estimates are much lower. For locks as long and deep
as Mr. Shanly’s, and 45 wide, he gives 812,000,000, but
this sum does not take into account enlarging the
Lachine Canal, or removing obstructions in Lake St.
Louis.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The Reciprocity Treaty entered into bv Great Bri-
tain and the United States in 1854, which has an
almost exclusive reference to the trade between Ca-
nada and the Northern States, may be terminated in
1865, by giving notice in the summer of 1864. The
treaty has proved beneficial to both parties, but it is
expected that a revision will take place, it being alleg-
ed that the lumbering interests of Michigan and Wis-
consin, the manufacturing interests of Ohio and all the
other Western States, as well as New York, and the
carrying trade, are opposed to a continuance of the
treaty.

GOLD MINES OF CANADA

[1864. B. N. A.

THE GOLD MINES OF CANADA.

(The following information has been furnished by
the Geological Survey, and is chiefly extracted from
the recently published volume, “ The Geology of Ca-
nada”)

The existence of gold in the sands of the Chaudiqre
valley, to the south of Quebec, was, so far as we are
aware, first announced to the world by General Bad-
deley (then Lieutenant) of the Koyal Engineers, in the
year 1835, and by him communicated to Prof. Silliman.
(See American Journal of Science for that year; vol.
xxviii. p. 112). In 1847, and the three or four years
following, careful examinations were made in that re-
gion by the Geological Survey, and it was found that
the precious metal is not confined to the valley of the
Chaudiere, but exists in the superficial deposits of a
wide area. Full details will be found in the various
reports of the Survey, as follows: 1847, pp. 73-80, and
103; 1849, pp. 67-69; 1850, pp. 6-11 ; 1851, pp. 21-27, and
129: 1852, pp. 70-72; 1853-’56, pp. 370, 371.

The source of the gold throughout this extent ap-
pears to have been the breaking up of the crystalline
schists of the region, in which the metal has occasion-
ally been met with. One example of this is in a vein
of quartz, in the parish of St. Francis, on the Chau-
diere, where native gold occurs with argentiferous ga-
lena, arsenical pyrites, cubic iron pyrites, and sulphur-
et of zinc, — the latter two ores containing a notable
proportion of gold. This was first examined and de-
scribed by the Geological Survey in 1853, and assays
of the various ores will be found m the Report for that
year. In 1862, another vein of quartz, about one hun-
dred yards from this last, was opened, and has yielded
very rich and beautiful specimens of native £old, also
accompanied by arsenical pyrites. The precious metal
occurs again not far from the Harvey Hill copper mine,
in Leeds, at a locality known as Nutbrown’s shaft,
which is sunk on a vein of bitter-spar, holding specu-
lar iron, vitreous copper ore, and native gold, generally
in small grains or scales. Some specimens from this
locality, however, have weighed as much as a penny-
weight, and have been found under similar circumstan-
ces at the Halifax copper mine, and also at what is
called the Chaudiere copper mine, in the rear of the
seigniory of St. Giles, where it was found in 1863, in small

f rains, disseminated through a quartz vein which had
een opened in search of copper, and which contains
vitreous copper ore. An assay of portions of this quartz
by Dr. Hays, of Boston, has yielded at the rate of
only 6| dwts. to the ton, and similar results have been
obtained with the material from Halifax. The only at-
tempts as yet made at gold-mining in Canada have
been in the diluvial deposits. The crystalline schists
of eastern Canada above noticed, may be traced south-
westvvardly through New England, along the Appala-
chian chain, to the State of Georgia, and furnish gold
in greater or loss quantity in nearly every part of their
extension. They constitute the great gold-bearing
formation of eastern North America, which in its min-
eralogical and lithological characters is similar to that
of the western coast, and to those of Russia and Aus-
tralia. These auriferous rocks in Canada belong for
the greater part to the Quebec group, of Lower Silur-
ian age; but some of the quartz veins containing
old, are found cutting strata which are supposed to
elong to the Upper Silurian period. The auriferous
drift covers a wide area on the south side of the St.
Lawrence, including the hill-country belonging to the
Notre Dame range, and extending thence south and
east to the boundary of the Province. These wide lim-
its are assigned, inasmuch as although gold has not
been everywhere found in this region, the same miner-
alogical characters are met with throughout. In its
continuation southward throughout Vermont, consid-
erable quantities of gold have been obtained from
the diluvial deposits. In Canada, gold has been found
on the St. Francis River, from the vicinity of Mel-
bourne, to Sherbrooke and Lennoxville, along the
Magog River, as well as along the Masawippi;
in the townships of YVestbury, YY r eedon, and Duds-
well, and on Lako St. Francis. It has also been
found on the Etcliemin, and on the Chaudiere and
nearly all its tributaries, from the seigniory of St.
Mary’s to the frontier of the state of Maine; including
the Bras, the Guillaume, the Riviere des Plantes, the
Ruisseaux Lessard, Dumoulin, and D’Ardoise, the

Touffe des Pins, or Gilbert, the Famine, the Du Loup,
Pozer’s Stream, the Ladyfair, Grando Coude, Metger-
met, Traveller’s Rest, Portage, Kempt’s stream, Oli-
ver’s Stream, and other tributaries of the Du Loup.
It is probable that throughout all this region there
is no square mile of the surface on which gold may
not be found. Several attempts have been made to
work these alluvial deposits for gold, in the seign-
iories of Vaudreuil, Aubert-G allion, and Aubert de
l’lsle, but they have been successively abandoned;
and it is difficult to obtain authentic accounts of the
results of the various workings; although it is known
that very considerable quantities of gold were extract-
ed. In the years 1851 and 1852, an experiment of this
kind, on a considerable scale, was tried by the Canada
Gold Mining Company, in the last named seigniory,
on the Riviere du Loup, near its junction with the
Chaudiere. The system adopted for the separation ot
the gold from the gravel was similar to that used in
Cornwall in washing for alluvial tin, and the water for
the purpose was obtained from a small stream adjoin-
ing. Great difficulties were, however, met with from
a deficient supply of water during the summer months.
The gravel from about three-eighths of an acre, with
an average thickness of two feet, was washed during
the summer of 1851, and yielded 2,107 pennyweights ot
gold ; of which 160 were in the form of fine'dust, ming-
led with about a ton of black iron-sand, the heavy resi-
due of the washings. There were several pieces of gold
weighing over an ounce. The value of this gold was
$1,826, and the whole expenditure connected with the
working, $1,643, leaving a profit of $182. In this ac-
count is, however, included $500 lost by a flood, which
swept away an unfinished dam ; so that the real diffe-
rence between the amount of the wages and the value
of the gold obtained should be stated at $682. The av-
erage price of the labor employed was sixty cts. a day.
In 1852, about five-eighths of an acre of gravel were
washed at this place, and the total amount of gold ob-
tained was 2,880 pennyweights, valued at $2,496. Of
this, 307 pennyweights were in the form of fine dust
mixed with tlie iron sand. A portion was also found
in nuggets or rounded masses of considerable size.
Nine of those weighed together 468 pennyweights, the
largest being about 127, and the smallest about 11
pennyweights. Small portions of native platinum,
and of iridosmine, were obtained in these washings,
but their quantity was too small to be of any impor-
tance. The washing season lasted from the twenty-
fourth of May to the thirtieth of October, and the sura
expended for labor was $1,888, leaving a profit of $608.
A part of this expenditure was, however, for the con-
struction of wooden conductors for bringing the water
a distance of about 900 feet from the small stream. As
this work would be available for several years to come,
a proper allowance made for it would leave a profit in
the year’s labor of above $680. It thus appears that
from an acre of the gravel, with an average thickness
of two feet, there were taken $4,323 of gold; while the
expenses of labor, after deducting, as above, all which
was not directly employed in extracting gold, were
$2,947, leaving a profit of $1,366. The fineness of the
gold dust of this region was 871 thousandths ; another
sample in thin scales gave 892, and masses 864. A small
nugget of gold from $.t. Francis gave 867 thousandths,
the remainder in all cases being silver.

Although the greater part of this gold was extracted
from the gravel on the flats of the river side, a portion
was obtained by washing the material taken from the
banks above. As has been before remarked, the dis-
tribution of the gold-bearing gravel over the surface
of the country took place before the formation of the
present water-courses, and the reason why the gravel
from the beds of these is richer in gold than that
which forms their banks, is that these rapid streams
have subjected the earth to a partial washing, carrying
away the lighter materials, and leaving the gold behind
with the heavier matters. According to Mr. Blake, it
is found in California, that the gold in the diluvial
deposits which have not been subsequently disturbed
by the streams, is not uniformly distributed, but is ac-
cumulated here and there in quantities greater than in
other places. It would seem that during the first
deposition of the earth and gravel, the precious metal
became in some parts accumulated in depressions of the

*urface-rock, constituting what are called pockets by
the miners. It would appear from the facts here given
that the quantity of gold in the valley of the Chaudtere
is such as would be remunerative to skilled labor, and
should encourage the outlay of capital. There is no
reason for supposing that the proportion of the pre-
cious metal to be round along the St. Francis, the
Etchemin, and their various tributaries, is less consid-
erable than that of the Chaudi&re,

What is called the hydraulic method of washing de-
posits of auriferous gravel is adoped on a great scale
m California, and to some extent in the states of
Georgia and North Carolina. In this method, the force
water, with great pressure, is made available,
both for excavating and washing the auriferous earth.
Ihe water, issuing in a continuous stream, with great
force, from a large hose-pipe, like that of a fire-engine,
is directed against the base of a bank of earth and
gravel, and tears it away. The bank is rapidly under-
mined, the gravel is loosened, violently rolled together,
and cleansed from any adhering particles of gold;
while the fine sand and clay are carried offby the water.
In this manner hundreds of tons of earth and gravel
may be removed, and the gold which they contain
liberated and secured, with greater ease and expedition
than ten tons could be excavated and washed in the
old way. All the earth and gravel of a deposit is
moved, washed, and carried off through long sluices
by the water, leaving the gold behind. Square acres
of earth on the hill-sides may thus be swept away into
the hollows, without the aid of a pick or a shovel in
excavation. Water performs all the labor, moving
and washing the earth, in one operation ; while in ex-
cavating by Ugnd, the two processes are of necessity
entirely distinct. The value of this method, and the
yield of gold by it, as compared with the older one, can
hardly be estimated. The water acts constantly with
uniform effect, and can be brought to bear upon
almost any point, where it would be difficult for men to
work. It is especially effective in regions covered by
trees, where the tangled roots would greatly retard the
labor of workmen. In such places, the stream of water
washes out the earth from below, and tree after tree falls
before the current, any gold which may have adhered to
their roots being washed away. With a pressure of sixty
feet, and a pipe of from one and a half to two inches
aperture, over a thousand bushels of earth can be
washed out from a bank in a day. Earth which contains
only one twenty-fifth part of a grain of gold, equal to
one-fifth of a cent in value to the bushel, may be pro-
fitably washed by this method; and any earth or gra-
vel which will pay the expense of washing in the old
way, gives enormous profits by the new process. To
wash successfully in this way requires a plentiful sup-
ply of water, at an elevation of from fifty to ninety feet
above the bed-rock, and a rapid slope or descent from
the base of the bank of earth to be washed, so that the
waste water will run off through the sluices, bearing
with it gravel, sand, and the suspended clay.

The above description, and tne added details, are
copied from a report on the gold mines of Georgia, by
Mr. William P. Blake, who has carefully studied this
method of mining in California, and by whose recom-
mendation it has been introduced into the Southern
States. He states that in the case of a deposit in
North Carolina, where ten men where required, for
thirty-five days, to dig the earth with pick and shovel,
and wash it in sluices, two men, with a single jet of
water, would acomplish the same work in a week.
The great economy of this method is manifest from
the fact that many old deposits in the river-beds, the
gravel of which had been already washed by hand,
nave been again washed with profit by the hydraulic
process. He tells us that in California the whole art
of working the diluvial gold deposits was revolution-
ized by this new method. The auriferous earth, lying
on hills, and at some distance above the level of the
water-courses, would, in the ordinary methods, be ex-
cavated by hand, and brought to the water; but by
the present system, the water is brought by aque-
ducts to the gold deposits, and whole square miles,
which were before inaccessible, have yielded up their
precious metal. It sometimes happens, from the irre-
gular distribution of the gold in the diluvium in Cali-
fornia, that the upper portions of a deposit do not
contain gold enough to be washed by the ordinary
methods; and would thus have to be removed, at a
considerable expense, in order to reach the richer

portions below. By the hydraulic method however
the cost ot cutting away and excavating is so trifling
that there is scarcely any bank of earth which will not
pay the expense of washing down, in order to reach
the richer deposits of gold beneath.

The aqueducts or canals for the mining districts of
California are seldom constructed by the gold-workers
themselves, but by capitalists, who rent the water to
the miners. The cost of one of these canals, carrying
the waters of a branch of the Yuba Kiver to Nevada
County, was estimated at a million of dollars; and
another one, thirty miles in length, running to the
same district, cost $500,000. The assessed value of
these varions canals in 1857 was stated to be over four
millions of dollars, of which value one-half was in the
single county of Eldorado. The Bear Kiver and Au-
burn ( anal is sixty miles in length, three feet deep
and four feet wide at the top, and cost in all $1,600,000 ;
notwithstanding which the water-rents were so great
that it is stated to have paid a yearly dividend of twenty
per cent, while other similar canals paid from three,
to five and six per cent, and even more monthly. The
price of the water was fixed at so much the inch, for
each day of eight or ten hours. This price was at first
about three dollars, but by competition has now been
greatly reduced.

From these statements, it will be seen that the great
riches which have of late years been drawn from the
goldmines of California, have not been obtained with-
out the expenditure of large amounts of money and
engineering skill. This last is especially exhibited in
the construction of these great canals, and the appli-
cation of the hydraulic method to the washing of aurif-
erous deposits which were unavailable by the ordinary
modes of working, on account of their distance from
the water-courses, or by reason of the small quantity
of gold which they contain.

In order to judge of the applicability of this method
of washing to our own auriferous deposits, a simple
calculation based upon the experiments at the Riviere
du Loup will be of use. It has been shown that the
washing of the ground over an area of one acre, and
with an average depth of two feet, equal to 87,120
cubic feet, gave in round numbers, about 5000 penny-
weights of gold, or one and thirty-eight hundredths
grains of gold to the cubic foot; which is equal to one
and three-quarters grains of gold to the bushel. Now
according to Mr. Blake, earth containing one forty-
fourth part of this amount, or one twenty-fifth of a

§ rain of gold, can be profitably washed by the hy-
raulic method, while the labor of two men, with a

E roper jet of water, suffices to wash one thousand
ushels in a day, which in a deposit like that of
Rivfere du Loup would contain about seventy-three
pennyweights of gold. It is probable, however, that a
certain portion of the finer gold dust, which is col-
lected in the ordinary process, would be lost in work-
ing on the larger scale. It has already been shown
that the gold is not confined to the gravel of the river-
channels, and the alluvial flats. The beds of inter-
stratified clay, sand, and gravel, which occur on the
banks of the Metgermet, were found to contain gold
throughout their whole thickness of fifty feet; and
even though its proportion were to be many times less
than in the gravel of the Rivtere du Loup, these thick
deposits, which extend over great areas, might be pro-
fitably worked by the hydraulic method. The tall in
most of the tributaries of the Chaudfere and of the St.
Francis throughout the auriferous region, is such that
it will not be difficult to secure a supply of water with
a sufficient head, without a very great expenditure in
the construction of canals; and it may reasonably be
expected that before long the deposits of gold-bearing
earth, which are so widely spread over southeastern
Canada, will be made economically available.

During the summer and autumn of 1863 public at-
tention nas been much drawn to the region of the
Chaudi&re, and according to a report made to the
commissioner of Crown Lands in September last by
Mr. Judah, it would appear that about $18,000 worth
of gold had been, during the season, obtained from the
Gilbert or Touffe des Pins. The washings up to this time
have not been conducted in a very systematic mai ner,
but several large companies have been formed, and
preparations are being made to test the value of those
auriferous deposits by experiments conducted on a
large scale by the hydraulic method described above.

BRITISH COLUMBIA

[1 864 . B. N. A.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

This Colony on the coast of the Pacific was establish-
ed in 1858, being formed of territory resumed by the
Crown from the Hudson Bay Company, comprising
the districts previously known by the various names
of New Caledonia, New Georgia, New Norfolk and
New Cornwall, lying between the Itocky Mountains
and the Pacific. It is bounded N. by Simpson River and
the Finlay Branch of Peace River; E. by the Rocky
Mountains, which form a well defined natural bounda-
ry between the new colony and the more eastern Bri-
tish possessions ; S. by the United States boundary
(4<P north latitude) and W. by the Gulf of Georgia,
Pacific ocean. Length about 450 miles; breadth about
260 Area, 213,500 square miles, or about the same as
Lower Canada. The coast line is deeply indented. The
northern part of the colony is diversified with moun-
tain, lake and river; the southern part includes the rich
gold-valley of the Fraser River, and is well adapted to
agriculture and pasturage.

The formation of this colony was consequent upon
the discovery of gold and the influx of population occa-
sioned thereby. It possesses, however, great natural
advantages. The British Government was informed by
letter, dated 15th April 1856, from Governor Douglas
of Vancouver Colony, that there was reason to believe
gold had been found in New Caledonia. The informa-
tion was at first almost unregarded. The searches
made by a few persons met with more or less success.
But accounts of the supposed richness of the new gold
fields having reached California, great excitement was
created, and miners from San Francisco began to
flock to Fraser River, and presently 20,000 Californians
had reached the new El Dorado. The Governor of
Vancouver Island secured the royalty of the mines to
the British Government by imposing a license tax ;
and he prohibited the importation of goods otherwise
than through the Hudson Bay Company’s agencies.
He also prohibited the navigation of Fraser River by
foreign ships. The U. S. Government complained of
these restrictions, claiming that the Governor of Van-
couver Island had no legal jurisdiction over the main
land where the mines were situate. The British Govern-
ment, however, sustained the Governor of Vancouver
Island, reserving the question of the navigation of Fraser
River, and expressing a desire to deal liberally with the
citizens of the United States. It promised to take legal
advice as to the rights of the Hudson Bay Company.
The Governor was also admonished as to the “ impor-
tance of caution in dealing with those manifold causes
of international relationships and feeling which are
certain to arise.” On the 8th .July, 1858, Sir E. B.
Lytton, then secretary of state for the colonies, brought
before the House of Commons a bill which became law
Aug. 2nd, constituting the colony of British Columbia
with the boundaries above specified. A clause conferred
the power to unite the colonies of Vancouver and
British Columbia when circumstances should demand.

The gold was found chiefly in grains. During the fir.£
six months of the digging on Thompson river, up to
Feb., 1858, only 500 ounces had been exported, but the
quantity rapidly increased. In 1859, the districts lit
for agricultural settlement were thus estimated : On
Fraser and Thompson rivers 60,000 square miles ;
sources of the Upper Columbia 20,000 ; Athabaska
district 50,000. The tract extending from Thompson
river to the Rocky Mountains is described as eminently
adapted for colonisation. There is abundance of tim-
ber and bituminous coal ; it is diversified by hill and
dale, watered by numerous streams and lakes, and has
boundless pasturage. The soil varies from a deep
black vegetable loam to a light, brown loamy earth,
the hills supplying slate and building stone. The land
on the lower course of the Fraser river is also good.
Wheat, barley, .potatoes, turnips, and English fruits, par-
ticularly apples and pears, are cultivated at the trading
posts. From the middle of October till March, there
is much rain with high winds. Snow seldom remains
long upon the ground. Coal abounds over the whole
territory. In general the beds either crop out from
the su faie, or lie immediately beneath it. Rock Crys-
tals, cobalt, talc andiron ore have been found about
Fraser River. The country is rich in fur-bearing
animals, of which the principal are the black, brown

and grisly bears, lynx, marten and beaver; fish aboundr
and salmon are plentiful. The sum of .£ 15,000 was
contributed by Miss Burdett Coutts for the endowment
of a bishopric in Columbia, and the Rev. George Hills
was appointed bishop in November, 1858.

At a meeting held at Salisbury some months ago, the
bishop of Columbia bore out the statements of the
Times’ correspondent as to the wonderful productive-
ness of the colony. He said “ he had himself travelled
in most parts of the colony, and last year he went to
the great gold region. Gold was spread over the coun-
try very largely. In one part it was washed down in
the river, higher up it was found in substance like
bran, and on the mountains, where it was disintegrat-
ing, it w as found in large pieces, varying from the size
of a pea to an inch long. Last year lie sat by the side
of a man who was digging for gold, and had come
upon a rock. He used a knife, and was picking the
rock just as a person would open an oyster, and from
the crevices he took the gold. The bishop asked him
how much he had got, and on washing up ten minutes’
work, he found that he had got £70 worm of gold. The
same day he visited another place where miners had
been at work, and at six o’clock they wa-hed up the
gold, when there was £600 worth, the work of only ten
men. But even that was exceeded in richness in other
parts, for last year ten men had, in one day, succeeded
in obtaining 100 ounces, or more. This showed the
exceeding richness of the gold discovery, so that they
might look upon that country as destined in future to
attract a large population. Let it not be supposed,
however, that, this gold was to be obtained easily ; it
was only to be obtained by very hard labour indeed.
A young man, well educated and softly brought up, on
arriving in Columbia from England, expecting to be
told w here the gold was to be found, was rather sur-
prised at having to go 600 miles up the country. Some,
therefore, after getting a short way turn back, and
never reach the gold mines at all ; for they must re-
member that this was a new country, and though it
was attractive in this and other ways, yet it was a new
country, and required strong, hard-handed men and
determined spirits to open it up. There was no doubt
that Columbia would shortly be attractive as an agri-
cultural country, for the miners there must be fed ;
and at present they were only fed by food brought to
them on horseback, through the country. As soon,
therefore, as agriculturists go and cultivate the land
near the mines, the miners would be supplied from the
country round, and agriculturists would obtain an
excellent return for their labour. But all persons who
go there must expect to labour for their living, and
he had sometimes greatly astonished young men who
had brought letters of introduction to him, when they
asked him what they should do, by telling them that
his advice was that they had better get two months'
work on the roads, that they might learn the business
of the colony and prepare their hands for what they
would surely have to do.”

Agriculture in British Columbia . — The following is
from the prize essay on British Columbia written by
the Rev. Mr. Brown : “ The country round about the
lower Fraser is not by any means the locality where
farming can at present be most successfully under-
taken. Yet even here there are many broad acres of
excellent land. Behind the belts of forest there are
open spaces where grass grows luxuriantly. Some of
these lands require draining : they invite the investment
of the capitalist, with a sure prospect of a rich return,
whether laid down on hay or cereals. But to reach the
best lands we must penetrate into the interior. They
will be found scattered up and down throughout
the vast area beyond the Cascade Range. Most of
the country is occupied by arid mountain chains,
rolling hills or high grassy table lauds. Between
the mountains are fertile and well watered val-
leys. The Okanagan and adjoining districts pos-
sess an extent of land capable of supporting 10,000
souls (allowing 1G0 acres for 9 persons.) Above this,
lies the country around Shush wap Lake, which is de-
scribed as containing an extensive area of arable land.
The district around Kamloops Lake and [North River
is described as extending 80 miles from south to north,
and 100 miles from east to west ; a pastoral country of
high table-land, with abundant pasture free Irom for-
ests, and only interspersed with timber. Adjacent lies
the land around Nicola Lake, the headquarters of the
Indian tribes, a district little known, but said to possess
great agricultural capabilities. The basin of the Thomp-
son River has good pasturage, and its tributary, the
Buonaparte, excellent arable land. The country
through which the waggon road passes to Williams
Lake must ultimately become a valuable agricultural
district. The soil is of three kinds— first, black, rich,
and loamy, consisting of decayed vegetable matter and
alluvial deposits. This is the character of the soil by
the banks of streams and lakes, and in the bottoms or
valleys, and wherever land has been formed of de-
posits brought down by the streams from the moun-
tains. The second kind of soil (which characterises
the basin of the Fraser) is lighter and more sandy,
being formed by the disintegration and decomposition
of rocks (a process that may be seen any rainy day,) it
contains a great deal of lime — the mountains being
frequently of limestone — and to this fact, together
with the strong sun, is probably to be ascribed its fer-
tility notwithstanding its lightness. It is found to a
depth varying from one to three feet, with a sub-soil of
gravel and sometimes of clay. The third description
of soil is neither so good as the first nor as light as the
second — it rather resembles ordinary land in the
mother country. Compared with the area of the coun-
try so far as it is yet explored, the quantity of good
land is small. It is indeed chiefly to be found in valleys
of greater or less breadth bounded by hills. Still these
valleys are so numerous that the quantity of land
available for agricultural purposes mounts up to not a
few acres. The table lands may also be arable if not
too high.”

Exports and Imports. — According to a New West-
minster journal, the exports from British Columbia in
1862 were valued at $9,257,875. The value of gold
exported was estimated at $9,000,000, and furs at
$250,000.

The imports were valued at $2,200,000, consisting for
the most part of the common necessaries of life, there
being little agriculture and no manufactories in the
Colony. The following was the value of the principal
articles imported :

Hams and bacon $822,000

Butter 45,000

Coffee 34,000

Live stock, including cattle and sheep, about 1,000,000

Rice 82,000

Blankets 56,000

Boots and shoes 63,000

Hardware 67,000

Progress of the Colony. — The Duke of Newcastle, in
a speech in the House of Lords on the 2nd July 1863,
on the British Columbia Boundary Bill, observed : —
“ The progress of British Columbia was almost without

example. The Colony was established four years ago
and already it was self-supporting, and would not ap-
pear again in the annual estimates of the House of
Commons. There were no exports at present except
I? 1 ?: b ut the imports, which in 1S61 were in value
$1,414,000, had reached, in 1862, $2,201,000, or nearly
double in the short space of twelve months. The reve-
nue of British Columbia was increasing annually It
had doubled within the last twelve months, and now
amounted to £100,000, with every prospect of increase
A thousand miles of roads had recently been opened*
the tolls of which last year produced £10,000, and were
expected to produce £20,000 next year.”

Form of Government.— In the same speech the Duke
Newcastle said : “ That at present (in July 1603) both
British Columbia and Vancouver Island were governed
by one Governor, under two different forms of govern-
ment. This system had been established as an experi-
ment, but had not worked well in all respects and
there was no necessity for continuing it. It was’ con-
templated to confer on British Columbia a form of
government which it was thought would be adapted for
the present to the peculiar population, in which at
present, the natives outnumbered both the settled and
migratory whites. An Order in Council had been
passed, granting a legislative council to the Colony
consisting of fifteen members— of whom five were to
be the public officers of the Colony— five magistrates
and five chosen by certain districts. That was an in-
termediate stage between the present system and re-
presentative government, which was thought best fitted
lor the present condition of the colony.”

A mass meeting to consider the question of repre-
sentation was held in New Westminister, the capital of
British Columbia, in October 1863, and a deputation
was appointed to wait upon the Governor with the fol-
lowing resolutions :

1 1 hat it, is desirable that this meeting should adopt
some system for the selection of a candidate for the Le-
gislative Council, to be submitted for the approval of
his Excellency.

2. That the medium of a poll is the only way to ob-
tain a proper expression of public opinion as to the
merits of any candidate.

3. That a system of franchise, based on property
qualification, should be adopted by the Government

4. That this meeting avail themselves of the present

opportunity to express their strongest disapprobation
of the illiberal constitution granted to this Colony by
the Duke of Newcastle. J 3

5. That this meeting regrets to have to record its pro-
test (m this nineteenth century) against a constitution
fitted only for the legislation of serfs, and which is in-
sulting to the intelligence of the people of this Colony -
yet, from a feeling of loyalty and strong aversion to
commit an unconstitutional act, they are determined
to give it a fair trial.

At a second meeting the deputation stated that they
had waited on his Excellency, who had informed them
that he had no power to establish a franchise as a basis
of election, as it was wholly in the hands of the people,
but that if they could not agree on one candidate, they
might elect two or three, from amongst whom he would
select one. This announcement gave rise to much sen-
sation in the meeting. The property qualification was
fixed at £12 rental, or £20 freehold; pre-emption, with
occupation, to be considered as ownership.

The following circular respecting the Council was
addressed to the Colonial magistrates and others :

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
16th September 1863.

Sir, — I t has pleased Her Majesty to issue an Order in
Council, dated the 11th day of June 1863, authorizing
the Governor of British Columbia to establish a Legis-
lative Council, composed of fifteen members, who shall,
with the advice and consent of the Governor, make
laws for the peace, order, and good government of the
said Colony ; and it is the desire of Her Majesty’s Go-
vernment that one-third of the members of the said
Legislative Council shall consist of persons recognized
by the residents in the Colony as representing their
feelings and interests, thereby introducing a system of
virtual though imperfect representation, which will
enable Her Majesty's Government to ascertain the
character, wants, and disposition of the community,
with a view to the more formal and complete establish-

Colonial Secretary.

VANCOUVER ISLAND.

This colony was named after Vancouver, a Dutch
navigator, who discovered it in 1792. The area is 16,000
square miles. Population 11,463. The island is the
largest on the Pacific coast, being 278 miles long, and
60 or 60 wide. It is separated from British Columbia
by the Gulf of Georgia, which is about 90 miles in width.
The surface is marked by mountain ranges and exten-
sive plains. The climate is considered healthy. There
is little frost, and vegetation begins in February. The
summer is hot, the autumn dry, and the winter stormy.
The soil is productive. The island is noted for its
coal mines. Gold has also been found. Large quanti-
ties of furs are obtained from the beaver, the racoon,
the land otter, and the sea otter. Excellent fish abound
on the coast. The capital is Victoria, on Victoria har-
bour, at the south of the island.

Progress of the Colony.— In the speech of the Duke
of Newcastle in the House of Loras on the 2nd July
1863. he is reported to have said :

“ Vancouver island had now taken a considerable
start, and was likely to be of the greatest importance
to this empire in future years. Practically this Colony
was founded as late as 1849, and during the earlier years
since that date it was under the management of the
H. B. Co., and made no material progress. Five years
ago the charter of the company expired, but it was
only in the present year that the last payment was made
to the company on the proprietorship being resumed
by the Crown . There were great complaints from cer-
tain parties of the present system of Government, both
in Vancouver Island and British Columbia. In Van-
couver Island the Government established in 1849 was
composed of a Governor, a Legislative Council, and a
House of Representatives. The number of Representa-
tives was only seven, and very recently the Crown had
been advised to increase that number to 15, and to grant
an Executive Council. During the last two years the
Island had made very considerable progress. In 1861,
the shipping entered was 101,721 tons, and in 1862 it
had increased to 199,000 tons. The imports in value
were : in 1861, $2,335,000, and in 1862 they had increased
to $3,555,000. An idea prevailed that this increased
prosperity was more beneficial to other countries than
to England, but he found that the imports from Eng-
land alone were in 1861 $616,000, and in 1862, $694,000,
being an increase of $178,000. Another fact, very gra-
tifying and conclusive as to the advantage to British
trade was, that the imports from England, which in
the first three months of 1862 were $120,000, had, in the
first three months of the present year, reached $400,000,
being an increase of more than 300 per cent., whilst the
increase of imports from other countries was only 63
per cent. He might say, further, that the merchants
were beginning to store goods at Victoria instead of
San Francisco, and that at the former place there was
a small but growing Admiralty establishment.”

Legislative and Executive Councils of Van-
couver Island. — Correspondence between the Duke
of Newcastle and the Governor on the above sub-
ject:

Governor Douglas to the Dulce of Newcastle .

Victoria, 31st May, 1862.

My Lord Duke,— I would desire to address your
Grace upon the subject of the Constitution of the Coun-
cil established for Vancouver Island under Her Majes-
ty's commission and instructions addressed to me as
Governor of the Colony. At the time that Council was
const ituted the circumstances of the colony differed ma-
terially from those of the present day. Then there were
no principal executive officers attached to the Govern-
ment, and the Council was necessarily entirely com-
posed of private individuals, holding no office under
the Government. Now, however, I have around me
several principal officers of the Government who should,
ex officio, form a distinct Executive Council. I have,
however, no power to constitute them such, and were
I to place them in the sole Council authorized by my
instructions, it would (the Chief Justice already being
a member of that council) reduce the unofficial mem-
bers to two, and the people would then have just cause
of complaint that their interests were inadequately re-
presented in the Upper Legislative Body by unofficial
members. I would therefore submit to your Grace
that the time has arrived when in this Colony two
Councils should he formed— an Executive and a Legis-
lative; the Executive to consist of the undermentioned
officers; The Colonial Secretary; the Attorney Gene-
ral; the Treasurer; the Surveyor General ; the Legis-
lative to consist of seven members, as at present, with
not less than three unofficial members. The members
of the Executive Council, if not in the House of Assem-
bly as representatives of the people, to be eligible for
appointment to the Legislative Council. The official
members of the Legislative Council to take precedence
of the unofficial members, and the two classes amongst
themselves to take precedence in the Council ; the offi-
cial according to the colonial rank of their office; the
unofficial according to seniority of appointment. I be-
lieve what I here propose is strictly according to the
practice followed in other colonies similarly circum-
stanced to Vancouver Island at the present time, and
I therefore apprehend the propriety of the arrangement
will be so patent to your Grace that it is unnecessary
for me to dwell upon it at greater length.

Reply of the Duke of Newcastle to Governor Douglas ,
Vancouver Island.

April 14, 1863.

Sir,— In your despatch of the 31st May, 1862, you
called my attention to the expediency in the advanced
state of the Colony of Vancouver Island, of dividing
the Council into two distinct bodies, and creating an
Executive and Legislative Council. I did not fail to

give due consideration to your suggestion, and I took
the necessary measures for the preparation of the in-
struments required for carrying that arrangement into
effect. I now transmit to you a supplementary com-
mission and instructions which have been framed for
that purpose.

UNION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND VANCOUVER
ISLAND.

The proposed union of these colonies has been warm-
ly discussed by the Legislature and the Tress. A few
extracts are subjoined :

The British Colonist, Vancouver Island, of 29th Sept.
1863, said: “As we understand the matter, if the As-
sembly decide for union, the concurrence of the Legis-
lative Council will have to be obtained ; in fact, the
new British Columbia Act only re-enacts the provision
in the Act of 1858, under which this colony may be an-
nexed to British Columbia. A joint address of both
houses of our Legislature to the Queen will be required.
We may regard, therefore, any discussion that may
take place in the Assembly on Mr. Ridge’s motion as
but a preliminary to a joint session of both Houses on
the subject, or at least a conference. A joint session
would doubtless be the best means, as the question
would in all probability be better handled, and the
conclusions reached be more satisfactory. Much of the
legislation of the colony for this session depends on the
way the Union question will be treated; so till some
decisive stand be taken for or against union, the session
is likely to drag along slowly. It is not desirable in a
matter of such importance to be too hasty, but at the
same time it must be apparent that the sooner the union
question be settled— and for union if possible — the bet-
ter it will be for the country at large.”

The following are some extracts from the debate on
the Union, in October 1863, in the Vancouver House of
Assembly :

Mr. Ridge thought that the best course, after ascer-
taining that the people were agreed, was to present a
memorial to Her Majesty praying that the Colonies be
united. The lirst reason he would advance for union
was the expense of two separate Governments. He
quoted the Duke of Newcastle’s estimate of the civil
list, and said he believed the salaries of the whole of
the Government officials would reach nearly $50,000.
Looking at the small population of the two colonies he
feared it would be impossible to pay this large sum and
ive them a fair chance to rise to greatness and wealth,
n the second place the separation of the colonies was
a great hindrance to trade, and this ought not to exist;
the success of one colony depended on the other, and
vice versa; the existence of Vancouver Island did not
depend on the gold yield, but British Columbia with-
out gold would be depopulated in two years. After
some remarks on the advantages of a free port to Brit-
ish Columbia, Mr. Ridge moved that a memorial be
resented to Her Majesty praying that, the two colonies
e united and placed under oiie Government.

Dr. Tolmie said all desired union, but there were
many difficulties in the way; our modes of raising
revenue were very different, and how were we to
maintain our free port system if united. He alluded
to the heavy debt of British Columbia which has to be
paid by their customs dues, so we could not expect
them to adopt the free port system.

Col. Foster said that Vancouver Island had once re-
fused union when it was offered, and now every mem-
ber except one spoke in favor of it. When the Home
Government proposed to join the two colonies he
would have no doubts as to the propriety of it. He
could not see that our free port sinks b^ a union. Brit-
ish Columbia was our best customer and it would be
bad policy to separate from her. If we made it worth*
her while to take ships and goodvs direct then she
would and could do it. A union with British Colum-
bia would be to our ultimate welfare 1 and lead to the
greater development of both colonies, and by losing
this opportunity it may be forever prevented.

Dr. Helmcken laid down this position, that free trade
is absolutelv necessary to the prosperity of Victoria,
and that with free trade union with British Columbia
is impossible; the only way was either a federal union
or to remain as they were.

Mr. De Cosmos, formerly editor and proprietor of the
Vancouver British Colonist, said from the views gene-
rallv expressed in this House and in the colony, he
concluded that the general desire was for union;, at

214

HUDSON BAT TERRITORY,

[1864. B.H.A.

the same time there seemed to be a general fear of
union. This fear seemed to be confined expressly to
the free port question. In taking a geographical survey
of the colony of British Columbia one was struck with
the vast extent of territory, comprising an area of 400,-
000 square miles, over five times the size of Great Bri-
tain. In the colony of Vancouver Island we have an
area of 12,000 square miles. With this vast extent of
territory, we must ask if it is adapted to a high state
of civilization. We find in British Columbia a large
proportion, probably one-third of the whole extent,
suitable for agricultural pursuits. In Vancouver Island
there is but a small amount of agricultural land, but
our mineral productions are invaluable, and our manu-
facturing resources — climate, water-power, harbors,
iron, coal, everything necessary to carry on extensive
operations — are unbounded. We have fisheries as pro-
lific as any in the known world, which may, and he
believed would, prove a greater source of wealth than
all the gold of Cariboo; in the two colonies combined
we have everything necessary to build up a great agri-
cultural and manufacturing interest. We have more
than 100,000 square miles of land adapted to the
highest state of cultivation. Vancouver Island, if not
united to British Columbia, will have no expansion, will
be shut off from the adjoining country, will be a mere
spot. on the Northwest coast of the Pacific. lie urged
the absolute necessity of following an industrial policy.
Nothing but an industrial policy could make a country :
mere external commerce would not avail. The new
Act says that if union is desired we must be pre-
pared for it by December 1863 ; but in the recent debate
on the British Columbia Boundary Bill in the House
of Commons, Mr. Fortescue stated that the time was
extended till the end of the next session of Parliament
in July next. The next thing to be considered is the
kind of government we are to have, lie argued in
favor of a convention of the leading men of both col-
onies. He felt satisfied that we could obtain the union
without sacrificing our free port. He would propose
that the free port system should not be repealed in the
united parliament, unless by a majority of the repre-
sentatives of this colony. A further point would be

what proportion Vancouver Island would pay of the
common expenditure, and what proportion we should
have expended here. Were we to unite there would
of course be only one revenue, which would bear
the common expense, and be pledged for the consoli-
dated debt; by this we could easily find what balance
would be left for other purposes. The joint interest of
the two debts would be £8,000, chargeable on the con-
solidated revenue. He compared the civil list of Van-
couver Island, which was £6,200, with that of British
Columbia, which was £7,700, and showed that by union
the colonies would save £6,200 on the civil list alone.
The same staff could do the work of both governments
at the same expense; by adopting a form of county
government, the revenues of both county and govern-
ment might be collected by the same officers at much
less expense. The total charge on the consolidated
revenue would be £15,600; of this Vancouver Island
would pay £4,458, while she now pays, including inte-
rest, £8, 6()0. In British Columbia the present expen-
diture is £13,200, while united she would save £2,058.
He also urged the territorial advantages of a nuion as
a means of levenuc ; the proceeds of land sales were the
natural source of the civil list. The next point was the
courts ; every one felt the necessity of more than one
judge in this colony, there being no appeal but to the
Privy Council of England. By a union, we would
have two or three judges, who might form a Court
of Appeal for the united colonies, and would be of
great benefit. Another point was the shipping; by a
union we would be enabled to prevent foreign vessels
from taking cargoes from a port in th's colony to a port
in the adjoining colony.”

Discovery of gold fields . — Bv a proclamation issued by
the Governor of Vancouver Island on the 8th August,
1862, a reward of £1,000 stg., was offered to any person
who should first discover a profitable gold field within
the colony, provided the moneys received on licenses
issued for working it should be equal to that amount,
and provided it should be proved to the satisfaction of
the local government, that there had been bona fide
produced from the field £10,000 worth of gold within 6
months from the issue of the license.

HUDSON BAY TERRITORY.

This territory was named after Henry Hudson, who
discovered the Bay in 1610, and perished on its shore.
The area, including Bed River, is about 1,800,000 square
miles, and the population about 200,000. It includes nom-
inally the following areas: 1st. Labrador; 2nd. Prince
Rupert Land; 3rd. Red River, Swan River, and Sas-
katchewan, which were granted in 1670, by the Charter
of Charles II, to the Hudson Bay Company; 4th Mac-
kenzie River; 5th. The North W est Indian Territories,
leased by the Company in 1821; 6th. Oregon (abandon-
ed), and British Columbia and Vancouver Island (lease
expired).

In the speech from the Throne, Canada, 13th Feb. 1863,
it was stated that the Canadian Delegates sent to Eng-
land to confer with the Imperial Government respect-
ing the Intercolonial Railway, had also been instructed
to call the attention of the Imperial authorities to the
importance of opening up for settlement the great
North Western Territory, and of facilitating the estab-
lishment of direct communication between Canada
and British Columbia. Very favorable results, it was
said, might be expected from these representations, not
only in the development of the resources of interme-
diate and distant possessions of the Crown, but in the
commercial benefit that would accrue to Canada as
the natural outlet for the productions of the West.

The papers referred to were laid before the House
with the correspondence on the subject of the Railway.

The Canadian delegates, Messrs. Sicotte and How-
land, in their letter dated 27 th Feb. 1863, say: It was
also part of our duty while in London to bring under
the consideration of the Imperial authorities the op-
portunity of opening communication into the North
West Territory, and they addressed themselves with
that object to the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
asking the co-operation of the Imperial Government.
We had also interviews and communications upon
this important matter with capitalists of the highest
standing. The result of these interviews was a propo-

sal of a company composed of such persons, to con-
struct from C anada to the Pacific, telegraph lines and
waggon express communications, upon condition that
Canada would guarantee half of the interest, at the
rate of four per cent, upon a capital of not more than
half a million sterling. Knowing the great interest
felt in Canada on that point, we assured these capi-
talists our opinion was, that the Government of Cana-
da would agree to guarantee half the interest at
that rate, provided the sum would not exceed £500,000
stg., and that the interests of the public were fully
secured.

Papers accompanying this statement:—

Memoranda of Messrs. Sicotte and Howland respect-
ing the territory between Lake Superior and British
Columbia to His Grace the Duke or Newcastle, dated
London, 11 Dec. 1862, as follows : —

The Government of Canada have not stipulated, or
proposed to stipulate, with the Imperial Government
in regard to the establishment of communication with
the great country known as the North West, but have
instructed the delegates to impress upon the Imperial
Government the anxiety with which such action on
the part of Great Britain is looked forward to as a
means of promoting the interests of Canada, and of
consummating a policy equally advantageous to impe-
rial interests, and of which the Intercolonial Railway
is but a part.

Since their arrival in England they have had the
assurance from the most wealthy and influential men,
that upon a Governmental guarantee of interest at
the rate of four per cent., a sum of £500,000 would bo
immediately raised for the purpose of constructing at
once a telegraph line and a common highway for
carrying the mails and the trafiic between Canada and
the Pacific.

British territory between Canada and British Colum-
bia, is a matter not merely colonial, and the inhabi-
tants of British America have a right to expect that in
their efforts to unite more closely the interests and the
tendencies of all the British American Colonies, by
comprehensive internal improvements, leading towards
more frequent intercourse with the mother country,
they will be assisted by the strong co-operation of the
Imperial Government.

The practicability and feasibility of such communi-
cation has been lately fully proved by the successful
attempt made by a party of 150 Canadians to cross this
vast territory, guided only by their own but imperfect
knowledge ot the country.

at the Red River Settlement, to consider the sub-
ject of opening up a means of inter-communica-
tion through British Territory; enclosing the Me-
morial and Resolutions adopted in relation thereto.

Red River Settlement, Jan. 22, 1863.
Sandford Fleming, Esq., C. E. :

Sir, — I have been instructed to notify you that a
large and influential meeting of the settlers took place
last evening, when the following Resolutions were
unanimously adopted : —

1. That it is the earnest wish of the people of Red
River to see the Lake Superior route to British Colum-
bia opened up for commerce and immigration, and to
see a Telegraphic Line laid along the same, — believing
that such would greatly benefit this country, while
subserving at the same time both Imperial and Cana-
dian interests.

2. That a Memorial be drawn up and forwarded to
the Imperial and Canadian Governments, briefly setting
forth our views.

3. That with a view to give effect to our present
movement, we do hereby nominate Mr. Sandford
Fleming, of Toronto, Canada, personally to represent
our interests, both in Canada and England, with refe-
rence to the objects mooted in the Memorial, and to
press upon the Imperial and Colonial Governments
the views contained in said Memorial.

4. That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are
hereby tendered to those in Canada who are interests
ing themselves in matters affecting the welfare of this
country and to those newspapers which so warmly
espouse our cause.

I enclose you the Memorial alluded to in the Resolu-
tions, and have to request, on behalf of the meeting,
that you would be kind enough to get the Resolutions
and Memorial published far and wide in Canada and
England. A very general and earnest wish is ex-
pressed that you, sir, would do all in your power to
further the charge committed to you.

W. Coldwell, Secretary.

Memorial of the people of Red River Settlement to
the British and Canadian Governments:

The People of the Red River Settlement hereby
desire briefly to set forth their views and wishes in re-
ference to the proposed opening up of the road from
Canada to British Columbia through the Red River
and Saskatchewan region, and the establishing of a
telegraphic line along the same. The people of Red
River have long eranestly desired to see the Lake
Superior route opened up for commerce and emigra-
tion, and they rejoice to hear of the proposal to open
up a road and establish a line of telegraphic communi-
cation through the interior to British Columbia, entire-
ly within British territory, believing that such works
would greatly benefit this country, while subserving at
the same time both Canadian and Imperial interests.
With reference to that section of the country lying be-
tween this settlement and Lake Superior, it is respect-
fully submitted that the difficulties to be encountered
in opening up an easy communication are entirely
overrated. It is true that this route, for reasons which
need not here be alluded to, has of lute years been ne-
glected ; yet when the fact is generally known that this
was the regular route by which the North West Fur
Co. imported and exported heavy cargoes for more
than a quarter of a century, and which the Hudson
Bay Co. haye used more or less for nearly three-quarters
of a century, it must he granted that the natural diffi-
culties cannot be so great as they are commonly reported

to be. We, the people of this settlement, are so anxious
to have a proper outlet in this direction, that we are
quite prepared ourselves to undertake at our own
expense the opening of a road from this settlement to
Lake of the Woods, a distance of ninety or a hundred
miles, if England or Canada will guarantee the opening
of the section from Lake of the Wo< ds to Lake Supe-
rior.' From our intimate knowledge of the country
lying between this place and the Rocky Mountains, we
consider the project of a road in that direction perfect-
ly practicable at a comparatively small outlay. At all
times dining the summer season, loaded carts go from
this place to Carlton, Fort Pitt, and Edmonton, on the
upper Saskatchewan; and last summer a party of
Canadians, about 200 in number (en route to British
Columbia), passed over the same road, and went with
their vehicles to the very base of the Rocky Mountains;
clearly showing that along the whole way there are,
even at present, no insuperable obstacles to the pas-
sage of carts and waggons. And if in its present natural
unimproved state, the road is usable, it must be evident
that only a comparatively small outlay would be requi-
site to make it all that could be desired. The whole
country through which the proposed road would run,
almost from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains, is
remarkably level. The surface of this vast legion is,
generally speaking, like the ocean surface in a calm,
and besides being so remarkably level, it is, for the
most part, free from those heavy forests which, in Ca-
nada and elsewhere, cause such delay and expense in
road making. We believe a railway could be laid here
at a cheaper rate than in most countries. Having thus
cursorily alluded to the practicability of the road, on
which point our local knowledge and experience ought
to give our views some weight, and while admitting
the intense interest and satisfaction with which we
view the prospect of a work fraught with so much
good to us politically, socially, and commercially, we
might be allowed to point out very briefly the views
we entertain regarding its importance to England and
Canada alike. Canada would derive great benefit
from the ov erland carrying trade, which would spring
up immediately on the establishment of this route, and
the constantly growing traffic of this district and Brit-
ish Columbia would thereafter be an ever-increasing
source of profit. Besides this, it may reasonably be pre-
sumed that the people of Central British America, pre-
sent and prospective, would prove permanent and li-
beral customers in the markets of England and ( anada.
Be it remembered, moreover, that a vast fur business is
carried on in this country, and that towards the Rocky
Mountains gold has been discovered in many quarters.
Besides gold there are iron, lead, coni, petroleum, and
other minerals which, together with the rich fur trade,
would prove a source of great wealth, not only to this
country, but to Canada; and although the colonization
and settlement of the vast area of cultivable land
would somewhat curtail the territorial limits of the fur
business, still, the millions of acres north of the fertile
tract will r in all probability, remain a rich fur country
for centuries to come. This is the most natural high-
way by which commerce and general business with tlfe
East could be carried on. It would be also the most
expeditious. And as a result of such commerce and
traffic along this route, Central British America would
rapidly till up with an industrious loyal people ; and thus
from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia, Great Britain
would liave an unbroken series of colonies, a grand
confederation of loyal and flourishing provinces, skirt-
ing the whole United States frontier, and command-
ing at once the Atlantic and Pacific. In this con-
nection we feel bound to observe that American in-
fluence is rapidly gaining ground here; mid if action
is long delayed, very unpleasant complications may
arise. Thus both politically and commercially, the
opening up of this country and the making through it a
national highway, would immensely subserve Imperial
interests, and contribute to the stability and glorious
prestige of the British Empire. These views the people
of Red River desire most respectfully to present tor the
consideration of the British and Canadian Govern-
ments, and they earnestly hope that this year may wit-
ness the formal commencement of operations with a
view to a telegraphic line, and a road from Lake Su-
perior to this settlement, if not through the. whole ex-
tent of country, from Canaria to British Columbia.

HUDSON BAY TERRITORY.

[1864. B. N. A.

Mr. Fleming prepared some observations to accom-
pany the Memorial, on the establishment of a line of
communication from Canada to British Columbia, and
showing how well adapted Central British North Ame-
rica was for successful colonization. The following
are some extracts :

Between Canada and the Red River Settlement, a
long stretch of country intervenes, in many places
rough, and in some respects unsuited for early and
prosperous settlement. The great lakes Huron and
Superior skirt the southerly margin of the easterly half
of this district, and they extend the navigable waters
of the St. Lawrence to a point within about 400 miles
of Red River. From this point on the northern shore
of Lake Superior the settlement may be reached by a
somewhat tedious canoe navigation, rendered difficult
and laborious by reason of the great number of por-
tages which exist. This is the onlv outlet besides one
leading to the Arctic seas, which the settlers have
within British territory, and by reason of the many
obstructions w hich exist, it has almost entirely fallen
into disuse. It is the Lake Superior line of communi-
tion which the people of Red Riverso anxiously desire
to have opened up and improved, and it is on this
account that they eagerly advocate the construction of
a Road which, m connecting the Atlantic Provinces
with British Columbia, must necessarily open up a
route for them to the settlements of Canada.

The opening up of a means of easy communication
between Lake Superior and Red River might fairly be
advocated as an act of simple justice to our fellow'-sub-
jects in that remote settlement, who have been practical-
ly exiled from civilization for more than two genera-
tions; who have endured hardships of no ordinary
description in contending with many difficulties wdiilst
endeavoring on those vast plains to cultivate the soil
and earn a laborious livelihood, and who, if they have
not increased so rapidly in numbers and importance as
other colonists in settlements favored bv nature and
good government, have at least succeeded in establish-
ing an important nucleus for further colonization.
The Red River settlers have been apparently long ne-
glected, and, until recently, almost forgotten by the rest
of the Empire, but the discovery of gold on the slopes
of the Rocky Mountains, the progress of settlement on
the Pacific coast, together with other events of recent
date are now, however, forcing attention on the ad-
vantages which would result from the possession of a
short and facile line of communication to those regions.
It is, therefore, earnestly hoped by the people of Red
River that, in connection with the project of a road
extending, w ithin British territory, between the two
oceans, they may now attain the object of their wishes.

However valuable the possession of a road from
Canada to British Columbia might be considered,
simply as a means of intercourse between these two
countries, it is obvious that their great distance apart
would be an insuperable obstacle to its construction,
were it not for the favorable character of the interven-
ing territory of which the Red River district forms a
portion. As the permanent success of any line of com-
munication through the country depends so much on
its adaptability for settlement and colonization, it may
not be out of place to present a few extracts from the
best and most recent authorities on the subject before
proceeding to discuss the advantages of the undertak-
ing, commercially, its political necessity, and its char-
acter as an engineering work.

Central British North America — Adaptability for
Settlement .— The recent exploring expeditions sent out
by the Imperial and Canadian Governments have been
the means of giving to the world most valuable infor-
mation regarding the climate, soil, natural produc-
tions, and mineral wealth of that vast unoccnpied
region lying between Lake Superior and the Rocky
Mountains. Several American authorities have recent-
ly given expression to their views with regard to the
capabilities of the country under discussion.

M. Bourgeau, who accompanied the expedition of
Capt. l’alliser as botanist, made the following memo-
randum;— It remains for me to call attention to the
advantages there would be in establishing agricultural
settlements in the vast plains of Rupert’s Land, and
particularly on the Saskatchewan, in the neighborhood
of Fort Carlton. This district is much more adapted
to the cu’ture of staple crops of temperate climates —
such as wheat, rye, barley, oat>, Ac., than ore world
have been inclined to believe from its high latitude. In

effect the few attempts at the culture of cereals already
made in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay Co/s trading
posts, demonstrate by their success how easy it woula
be to obtain products sufficiently abundant largely to
remunerate the efforts of the agriculturist. There, in
order to put the land under cultivation, it would' be
necessary only to till the better portions of the soil
The prairies offer natural pasturage as favourable for
the maintenance of numerous herds, as if they had
been artificially created. The construction of houses
for habitations by the pioneers in the development, of
the country, would be easy, because in many part#
of the country, independent of w ood, one would find
fitting stones for building purposes; and in others it
would be easy to find clay for bricks, more particulaily
near Battle River. The other parts most favourable
for culture would be in the neighbourhood of Fort
Edmonton, and also along the south side of the north
Saskatchewan. In the latter district, extend rich and
vast prairies, interspersed with woods and forests, and
where thick wood plants lurnish excellent pasturage
for domestic animals. The vetches found here are
as fitting for the nourishment of cattle as the clover of
European pasturage. The abundance of buffalo, and
the facility with which the herds of horses and oxen
increase, demonstrate that it would be enough to shel-
ter animals in winter, and to feed them in the shelters
with hay collected in advance, in order to avoid the
mortality that would result from cold and from the
attacks of wild beasts, and further to permit the accli-
matizing of other domestic farm-yard animals, such as
the sheep and pig. The harvest could in general be
commenced by the end of August, or the first w eek in
September, which is a season when the temperature
continues sufficiently high, and rain is rare. In the
gardens of the II. B. Co.’s posts, and still more in those
of the different missions, vegetables of the leguminous
family, such as beans, peas and French beans, have
been successfully cultivated; also potatoes, cabbages,
turnips, carrots, rhubarb, and currants. No fruit tree
has as yet been introduced; but one might perhaps,
under favorable circumstances, trv nut-trees, also
apple-trees belonging to varieties that ripen early.
Different species of gooseberries, with edible fruits,
grow wild here; also different kinds of Vaccinia e* are
equally indigenous, and have pleasant fruits that will
serve lor the preparation of preserves and confec-
tionary. The only difficulty that would oppose agri-
cultural settlements is the immense distance to trav-
erse over countries devoid of roads, and almost, uninha-
bited. The assistance of Government or of a well
organized company, would be Indispensable to the
colonization of this country. It would be important
that settlements should be established in groups of at
least fifty householders, for protection against the
incursions of the Indians, who are, how ever, far from
being hostile to Europeans.

In the report of Mr. Simon Dawson on the explora-
tion of the country between Lake Superior and Red
River Settlement, and between the latter place and
the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan, he says that “the
climate of the Red River Settlement will compare not
unfavorably with that of Kingston, C. W.— that, as a ge-
neral rule, the season dnring which agricultural opera-
tions can be carried on at Red River is somew'hat longer
than in Canada, east of Kingston, while in winter the
cold is more intense, although not uniformly so, than
in any part of Canada, west of Three Rivers. In re-
gard to salubrity, there are no diseases, so far as I
could learn, incidental to the country. Ague is un-
known. and a population more healthy than that of
the Red River Settlement cannot be met with any-
where/’

Mr. L. Blodget, the celebrated American Climatolo-
gist, writes or the country in the following terms:

“ Lord Selkirk began his efforts at colonization here
as early as 1805, and from personal knowledge, he then
claimed for this tract a capacity to support thirty mil-
lions of inhabitants. All the grains of the cool tempe-
rate latitudes are produced abundantly. Indian con*
may be grown on both branches of the Saskatchewan,
and the grass of the plains is singularly abundant and
rich. Not only in the earliest explorations of these
plains, but now, they are the great, resort for buffalo
herds, which, with the domestic herds, and the horses
of the Indians and the colonists, remain on them and
at their woodland borders throughout the rear. The
simple fact of the presence of these vast herds of wild

cattle on plains of so high a latitude, is ample proof of
the climatological ana productive capacity of the
country. Of these plains and their woodland borders,
the valuable surface measures fully 500,000 square
miles.”

Professor Hind, who spent two summers in the coun-
try in charge of an expedition sent out by the Canadian
Government, writes as follows :

“ The fertile belt of arable soil, partly the form of rich,
open prairie, partly covered with groves of aspen,
which stretches from the Lake of the Woods to the foot
of the Rocky Mountains, averages 80 to 100 miles in
breadth. The area of this extraordinary belt of rich
soil or pasturage is about forty million acres. It was
formerly a wooded country, but by successive fires it
has been partially cleared of its forest growth, but
abounds with the most luxuriant herbage, and gene-
rally possesses a deep and rich soil of vegetable mould.
This region in winter is not more severe than that ex-
perienced in Canada; and in the western districts,
which are removed from the influence of the great
lakes, the spring commences about a month earlier
than on the shores of Lake Superior, which is five de-
grees of latitude farther to the south. The depth of
snow is never excessive, while in the richest tracts the
natural pasture is so abundant, that horses and cattle
may be left to obtain their own food during the greater
part of the winter. The Fertile Belt of the Saskatche-
wan Valley does not derive its importance from the
bare fact that it contains 64,000 square miles of country
available for agricultural purposes, in one continuous
strip 800 miles long, and on an average 80 miles broad,
stretching across the continent; it is rather by contrast
with the immense sub-arctic area to the north, and a
desert area to the south, that this favored ‘ Edge of the
Woods’ country acquires political and commercial im-
portance. A broad agricultural region, capable of sus-
taining many millions of people, and abundantly sup-
plied with iron ore and an inferior variety of coal, and
spanning the eight hundred miles which separate Lake
Winnipeg from the Rocky Mountains, more than com-
nsates for the rocky character of the timbered desert
tween the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior.”

Capt. Palliser thus describes the Fertile Belt: — It is
now a partially wooded country, abounding in lakes
and rich natural pasturage, in some parts rivalling the
finest park scenery of our own country. Throughout
this region of country the climate seems to preserve
the same character, although it passes through very
difFerent latitudes, its form being doubtless determined
by the curves of the isothermal line. Its superficial
extent embraces about 65,000 square miles, of which
more than one-third might be considered as at once
available for the purposes of the agriculturalist.”

Mr. J. W. Tavlor thus describes the climatic adapta-
tion to agriculture of the Red River district : — “ The
climate of the Red River valley is characterized by ex-
tremes of temperature probably greater than any other
part of the continent, while the annual mean is higher
than that of the same parallels of Western Europe, in-
cluding some of the best agricultural regions of that
continent. The mean for the three winter months of
December, January and February, at the Red River
settlement, is 6° 85, at Montreal, 16° 3. But it must be
remembered that the Red River settlement lies upon
the very edge of this climatic belt, in close proximity
to the arctic declivity of Hudson Bay, and it is by far
the coldest part of tne whole basin of the Winnipeg.
The climate grows rapidly warmer on the same paral-
lels westward, even when there is an increase of eleva-
tion.”

The lied Hirer Winter. — Though the winter of this
region is a period of intense cold, during which the
mercury often remains froze :i for days together, its ef-
fect upon the physical comfort is mitigated by a clear,
dry atmosphere, such as makes the winters of Minne-
sota the season of animal and social enjoyment. The
buffalo winter in myriads on the nutritious grasses of
its prairies up to as high a latitude as Lake Athabasca.
The half-breeds and Indians camp out in the open plain
during the whole winter, with no shelter but a buflfal >
skin tent and abundance of buffalo-robes, and the
horses of the settlers run at large all winter, and grow
fat on the grasses which they pick up in the woods and
bottoms.

Red River Spring. — Spring opens at nearly the same
time from Saint l’aul to Lake Athabasca ; April and

May are the natural spring months of this whole cli-
matic belt. The abruptness of the transition from
winter to spring in these northern latitudes is a won-
derful feature of the climate. In the Red River settle-
ment the mean of March is 9° 9'. In April it rises to
39° 83’, and in May to 58° 46'.

Agricultural capacity of the Summer months. — This
rich upward swell of the spring temperature is pro-
longed through the summer months of June, July and
August, to include the amplest measures of heat for all
agricultural purposes. Corn thrives well at a mean
temperature of sixty-five degrees for the summer
months, requiring, however, a July mean of sixty-seven
degrees. Wheat requires a mean temperature of from
sixty-two to sixty-five degrees for the two months of
July and August. These two great representative sta-
ples of American agriculture carry with them the whole
procession of useful flora that characterize the northern
belt of the temperate zone. Now the mean tempera-
ture of Red River, Apr the three summer months, is 67°
76', nearly three degrees of heat more titan is necessary
for corn, while July has four degrees of heat more than
is required for its best development. The mean of the
two months of July and August is sixty-seven degrees,
five degrees above the requirement of wheat.

Results of Agriculture at Red River Settlement . —
For all the great northern staples — wheat, corn, oats,
barley, potatoes, sheep and cattle— the range and dura-
tion of the summer heats form the decisive condition.
The data we have furnished prove conclusively the cli-
matic adaptation of the Red River and Saskatchewan
vallies to successful agriculture.

Indian Com. — The measures of heat are ample for
the development of corn in this district, and, in fact,
some varieties thrive well at the Red River settlement,
but it is not claimed as a profitable staple. It is chiefly
cultivated in small garden patches for the green ears,
but the cool nights of August frequently prevent its
ripening, except in the driest soils. Some varieties of
Canadian corn, requiring a growing period of not more
than seventy days, would, however, form a sure crop
in Red River. Indian corn, indeed, according to Bloa-
get, is restricted as a profitable staple to the middle
region of the w r est, between parallels of 42° and 43°.

Wheat.— Wheat is the leading staple of the upper
belt of the temperate zone. The range of wheat ex-
tends from the borders of the tropics northward to the
parallel of 60° north, and reauires a minimum mean
temperature of 62° or 65° for tne two months of July
and August. The whole region between Red River
and the Rocky Mountains is embraced between the
mean summer temperature of 65° and 70°, which in-
clude also the most fertile districts of New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota.

Instances of the Wheat Product of Red River. — Our
soil, says Donald Gunn, an intelligent settler, is ex-
tremely fertile, and when well cultivated yields large
crops of the finest wheat, weighing from 64 to 74 lbs.
>er imperial bushel. Th> yield per acre is often as
ligh as sixty bushels, and has been occasionally known
to exceed that; and when the average returns fall be-
low forty bushels to the acre, we are ready to complain
of small returns. Some patches have been known to

f >roduce twenty successive crops of wheat without fal-
ow or manure.

Prof. Hind, in his official report to the Canadian
Legislature, sets the average product at forty bushels
to the acre. He notices a product of 56 bushels to the
acre in the only instance when a measurement was
made. Wheat ripens in from 90 to 105 days. It is en-
tirely free from insects or disease of any kind.

A comparison of the yeld of wheat in Red River
with the best wheat districts of the United States, will
show its superiority over all others: Red River pro-
duces 40 bushels per acre; Minnesota 20; Wisconsin 14;
Pennsylvania 15; and Massachusetts 16 bush, per acre.

Oats, Barley , Rye, Potatoes.— The whole group of
subordinate cereals follow wheat, but are less restricted
in their range, going five degrees beyond wheat in the
Mackenzie Valley to the Arctic circle. Barley is a fa-
vorable alternate of wheat at Red River, and yields
enormous returns, with a weight per bushel of from
forty-eight to fifty-five pounds. Oats thrive well. Po-
tatoes are particularly distinguished for their excellent
quality and yield.

Hay. — The grasses, says Forrey, are proverbially in
perfection only in northern and cool regions. It is in
the north alone that we raise animals from meadows,
and are enabled to keep them fat and in good condi-
tion with grain. In none of the prairie districts of
North America are the native grasses so abundant and
nutritious as in these northern valleys. This is suffi-
ciently proved by the countless herds of buffalo that
pasture throughout the year upon its plains, even up to
the latitude of Peace river— a fact which suggests an
equivalent capacity for the herding of domestic cattle.
Tne Red River colony, in 1856, contained 9,253 horned
cattle, and 2,799 horses, which, in a settlement of 6,523
souls, exhil i s a remarkable proportion of stock. Horses
roam, during the summer and winter, through the
woods, and keep fat without housing or hay. The un-
limited pastural ranges afforded by the grassy savan-
nas of Red River, with its dry winter climate, seem to
supply favorable conditions for successful sheep hus-
bandry. This is confirmed by Donald Gunn. Our cli-
mate and soil, he says, are peculiarly adapted *to sheep.
It is 28 years since their introduction into the settle-
ment, and I have never seen or hoard of any sickness
attacking them. Well fed ewes produce fleeces vary-
ing from two to three and a half pounds. Wethers
produce fleeces much heavier. The wool is of good
quality, though not very fine. An inferior breed of
sheep would be likely to produce fine wool.

Mineral Wealth of the Territory. — About 150 miles
east of the Rocky Mountains the great coal bed com-
mences. So far as has been ascertained it is over 50
miles in width, and extends continuously over 16 de-
grees of latitude, to the Arctic ocean. The lignite (or
tertiary coal) formation is still more extensively de-
veloped. At the junction of the Mackenzie and Bear
Lake River, the formation is best exposed; it there
consists of a series of beds, the thickest of which ex-
ceed three yards, separated by layers of gravel and
sand, alternating with a fine grained friable sandstone,
and sometimes with thick beds of clay, the interposing
layer being often dark, from the dissemination of bitu-
minous matter. The coal, when recently extracted
from the bed, is massive, and most generally shows the
woody structure distinctly.

Of the mineral wealth of a large portion of the terri-
tory, Sir John Richardson thus speaks in general
terms, in a communication published in the Journal of
the Geographical Society for 1845 : "The countries, by
the expeditions of Sir John Franklin and ('apt. Back,
are rich in minerals; inexhaustible coal fields skirt the
Rocky Mountains through twelve degrees of latitude;
beds of coal crop out to the surface on various parts of
the Arctic coast ; veins of lead ore traverse the rocks of
Coronation gulf, and the Mackenzie river flows through
a well-wooded tract, skirted by metalliferous ranges of
mountains, and offers no obstruction to steam naviga-
tion for upward of twelve hundred miles.”

COMMUNICATION TO RED RIVER, ON BRITISH
TERRITORY.

The community of setUeafs. at Red River, isolated in
many respects from, and, until lately, unnoticed by the
rest of the world, is now exciting no small degree of
attention. The settlement was first formed half a cen-
tury ago by immigrants from the old country; the
population now consists of British-born subjects and
their descendants; Ihey live and have always lived
on British territory, but they are not yet literally a Bri-
tish colony.

Practically, too, the people of Red River settlement
are at present cut off from all intercourse with the
Mother Country except through a Foreign State. The
old route by which they had access 50 years ago has,
for want of a small expenditure to keep it open, fallen
into disuse; no wonder then that they grumble at the
seeming indifference of the parent land. “ We have
no postal communication,” says the Red River A r or’-
W ester , “ with any part of the civilized world except
through the United States!”

Heads of Proposal forwarded to the Duke of Newcas-
tle by Mr. E. )V. Watkin, April 28 1863, for establish-
ing Telegraphic and Postal Communication from
Lake Superior to New W estminster.

The Atlantic and Pacific Transit and Telegraph
Company propose to establish and maintain communi-
cation by electric telegraph, and a mail post, passing

at such intervals fortnightly or otherwise as shall be
agreed upon between a point at the head of Lake Su-
perior and New Westminster, in British Columbia, on
the following terms : —

1. That the Imperial Government, the colonies of
Canada and British Columbia, and the Hudson Bay
Company, shall each, within the territories belonging
to them, grant to the Company such land belonging
to the Crown or Company, and all such rights as may
be required for the post route, telegraph and necessary
stations, and for the proper working thereof.

2. The line of telegraph shall be divided into proper
sections, and so soon as telegraphic communication is
established throughout any section, the colonies of
Canada, Vancouver Island, and British Columbia will
guarantee to the Company a rate of profit on the capi-
tal expended at the rate of not less than four, nor more
than live per cent., provided that the total amount of
the capital guaranteed shall be limited to £500,000, and
that the total annual payment to be made by Vancou-
ver Island and British Columbia together, shall not
exceed £12,500; provided also, that the interest accru-
ing upon the money paid up by the shareholders, until
the above guarantee shall take effect, shall be reckoned
as capital ; and provided, further that in case the tele-
graphic line shall not be completed within five years,
unless by reason of war or commotion, or of any inter-
ruption not arising from any wilful default of the
company, the above guarantee shall be suspended till
the line shall be so completed.

3. In case the route shall run through Crown Land
not within the limits of Canada or British Columbia,
nor within the territory claimable by the Hudson
Bay Company, the Company shall be entitled to de-
mand Crown grants to the extent of five square
miles for every mile of telegraph line within such
Crown Land. Such grants shall be demandable as
soon as the telegraph communication shall be com-
pleted across such Crown Land, and the blocks grant-
ed shall be adjacent to the telegraph line, and shall be
as near as may be five miles square, and shall alternate
on each side of the line with blocks of similar size and
frontage, which shall remain in the possession of the
Crown. The Company is not to sell this land except
under effectual conditions of settlement, and in case
the undertaking shall be permanently abandoned, the
land not so sold is to revert to the Crown.

4. The Company shall not dispose of the telegraph
without the consent of the Imperial Government.

5. The Colonial Governments, within their respec-
tive limits, or the Imperial Government in any part of
the line, may at any time take temporary possession
of the telegraph line, in case the public interest
requires it, on payment of a rate of compensation to
be hereafter agreed, and Government messages shall,
at all times wnen demanded, have priority over all
others.

6. The Home Government, with the consent of the
parties, will introduce into Farliament such measures
as may be requisite to give effect to this proposal.

7. The telegraph and works, and the servants and
agents of the Company, shall be considered as under
the protection of the Crown and of the Colonial
Government as fully as if in the settled districts of
British North America.

8. The Company and its works shall be exempt
from all taxation for a period of thirty years.

9. Any further matters of detail or questions of
difference requiring discussion, to be remitted to the
sole decision of His Grace the Duke of Newcastle,
Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the
Colonies.

Reply of the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies
to Mr. Watkin.

Downing Street, 1st May 1863.

Str, — I am directed by the Duke of Newcastle to
state that he has had much satisfaction in receiving
your letter of the 28th ultimo, enclosing the heads of
a proposal for establishing telegraphic and postal com-
munication between Lake Superior and New West-
minster, through the agency of the Atlantic and
Pacific Transit and Telegraph Company. These pro-
posals call for some observations from His Grace.

New Westminster is named as the Pacific terminus
of the road and telegraph. His Grace takes for grant-
ed that if the Imperial Government and that of Bri-

tish Columbia should find, on further enquiry, that
some other point on the coast would supply a more
convenient terminus, the Company would be ready
to adopt it.

Article 1. — ITis Grace sees no objection to the grant
of land contemplated in this article, but the “ rights"
stipulated for are so indeterminate that, without further
explanation, they could scarcely be promised in the
shape in which they are asked, lie anticipates, how-
ever, no practical difficulty on this head.

Nos. 1 and 2.— The Duke of Newcastle, on the part
of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, sees no
objection to the maximum rate of guarantee proposed
by the Company, provided that the liability of the
colonies is clearly limited to £12,500 per annum. Nor
does he think it unfair that the Government guaran-
tee should cover periods of temporary interruption
from causes of an exceptional character, and over
which the Company has no control. But he thinks
it indispensable that the colonies should be sufficiently
secured against having to pav, for any lengthened
period, an annual sum of £12,500 without receiving
the corresponding benefit — that is to say, the benefit of
direct telegraphic communication between the seat of
Government in Canada and the coast of the Pacific. It
must therefore be understood that the commencement
of the undertaking must depend on the willingness of
the Canadian Government and Legislature to complete
telegraphic communication from the Seat of Govern-
ment to the point on Lake Superior, at which the
Company will take it up; — nor could His Grace
strongly urge on the Colonies of Vancouver Island
and British Columbia the large annual guarantee
which this project contemplates, unless there were
good reasons to expect that the kindred enterprise of
connecting Halifax and Montreal by railway, would
be promptly and vigorously porceeded with. It will
also be requisite to secure, bv formal agreements, that
the guarantee shall cease and the grants of land for
railway purposes revert to the grantors in case of the
permanent abandonment of the undertaking, of which
abandonment some unambiguous test should be sub-
scribed, such as the suspension of through communica-
tion for a stated period. The Duke of Newcastle does
not object to five years as the maximum period for the
completion of the undertaking, and he thinks it fair
to exclude from that period, or from the period of
suspension above mentioned, any time during which
any part of the line should be in occupation of a for-
eign enemy. But injuries from the outbreaks of
Indian tribes, and other casualties which are inherent
in the nature of the undertaking, must be taken as
part of the risks which fall on the conductors of the
enterprise, by whose resource and foresight alone they
can be averted . 11 is G race apprehends that, the Crown

land contemplated in Article 3, is the territory lying
between the eastern boundary of British Columbia
and the territory purporting to be granted to the
Hudson Bay Company by their charter. His Grace
must, clearly explain that Her Majesty's Government
do not undertake, in performance of this article of the
agreement, to go to the expense of settling any ques-
tions of disputed boundary, but only to grant land to
which the Crown title is clear. With regard to the
7th Article the Duke of Newcastle could not hold out
to the Company the prospect of protection by a mili-
tary or police force in the uninhabited 'districts
through which their line would pass, but he would
consider favorably any proposal for investing the offi-
cers of the Company with such magisterial or other
powers as might conduce to the preservation of order
and the security of the Company’s operations. With
reference to the 9th and concluding article the Duke
of Newcastle would not willingly undertake the res-
ponsible functions proposed to him, but he will agree
to do so, if by those means he can in any degree facili-
tate the project, and if he finds that the Colonies con-
cur in the proposal. Subject to these observations,
and to such questions of detail as further consideration
may elicit, the Duke of Newcastle cordially approves
of the Company’s proposals, and is prepared to sanc-
tion the grants of land contemplated in the 3rd article.

He intends to communicate the scheme, with a copy
of this letter, to the Governor General of Canada, and
the Governor of Vancouver Island, recommending the
project to their attentive consideration.

The Duke of Newcastle to Governor Douglas, of Van-
couver Island.

Downing Street, 1st May 1863.

Sin,— I enclose copies of a letter addressed to me by
Mr. VVatkin, on the part of the Atlantic and Pacific
Transit and Telegraph Company, in which he trans-
mits the heads of a proposal made by that Company
for establishing telegraphic and postal communication
between Biitish Columbia and the head of Lake Supe-
rior. I also enclose copies of the answer which I
caused to be returned to that letter, and of a despatch
which I have addressed to the Governor General of
Canada on the subject. This proposal I apprehend to
be made in the confident expectation that the Cana-
dian Government will provide similar means of com-
munication up to the head of Lake Superior, and that
means will be adopted for completing the communica-
tion by railway from Halifax to Montreal, thus estab-
lishing a chain of telegraphic communication, and fa-
cilitating enormously the rapid transit of letters and
passengers across Biitish Norih America. I need
hardly insist on the advantages which such an enter-
prise, if completed in all its parts, will confer on the
British Colonies on the l'acific. It is difficult to say
whether they will bo greater in war or peace. In war,
the rapid communication of intelligence will relievo
those Colonies from the constant apprehension of sur-
prise by an enemy, and will give to the harbors of Van-
couver Island, as a station for Her Majesty’s navy, an
importance immeasurably beyond what they can at
present attain. In peace, it can hardly fail to add a
powerful and healthy stimulus to that immigration
which is principally wanting to develope the resources
of the Colonies. I should hope that the Colonists —
without whose concurrence I am by no means desirous
of proceeding— will agree with me m thinking that the
guarantee of £12,500 per annum, to be paidlif neces-
sary) by British Columbia and Vancouver Island, in
such proportions as the two g ivernment-i may agree
upon, is no unreasonable price for advantages or so
great magnitude. I have had no hesitation in giving a
conditional consent, on the part of the Imperial Govern-
ment, to the grants of land contemplated in the first
and third of the conditions set forth in the enclosed
paper, and I shall transmit a copy of this despatch,
and of its enclosures, to Canada, recommending the
project to the consideration of the Canadian Govern-
ment.

I have to request that you will submit these papers
to the Legislature of Vancouver Island, and will ascer-
tain the sentiments of the inhabitants of British Co-
lumbia respecting the proposed undertaking, and I
shall receive with great satisfaction the intelligence
that laws at e to be enacted which will enable you, if
the Canadian Government shall afford their co-opera-
tion in the matter, to conclude in detail an arrange-
ment with the company on the basis of the enclosed
proposals.

The following is a synopsis of papers laid before the
Canadian Parliament in Sept. 1863, respecting the
opening of g road to lied liiver, or British Columbia.

Letter of the Hon. Alleyn , late Prov. Sec. Canada,

dated Quebec , 15//i April 1862, addressed to A. G.

Dallas , esq., Gov. in chief, Rupert* s Land.

Sir,— The Government of Canada have had their at-
tention very strongly directed to the important subject
of an overland communication with British Columbia
through the Hudson Bay Territory, via the Red
River, and I am now commanded by his Excellency to
inform you of the steps proposed towards effecting this
object, and to seek the co-operation of the H. B. Co.
therein. The Canadian Government do not wish at
present to raise any question as to the righ ts of the
company, who must be regarded as de facto in posses-
sion of the country intervening between Canada and
British Columbia. They consider that most impor-
tant » public interests demand the establishment of a
practicable line of communication across the continent,
and they desire to have the practical aid of your com-
pany in carrying it into effect. Arrangements were
made within the last four years for postal service with
Red River, but the want of territorial rights at Red
River, and along the greater part of the route, defeated
the plans of the Canadian Government, and, after a
very considerable outlay, the line had to be abandoned.
Another effort is now being made in the same direo-

tion, and, as the H. B. Co. claims the right of territory
and government over this region, it is hoped they will
also assume their correlative duties, and unite with
Canada in opening up the country. The Canadian
Government are about to establish steam communica-
tion with Fort William, on Lake Superior, immediate-
ly; a large tract of land at this point has been sur-
veyed, and a Crown Land agent has recently been
appointed to reside there; appropriations have been
made, by the Legislature for roads towards Red River,
on which free grants will be made to settlers, and every
effort will bo made to attract settlement — the ultimate
object being the connection with the Red River and
Saskatchewan. Canada is, therefore, now prepared to
guarantee that, so far as her undisputed boundary ex-
tends, every facility will henceforward exist towards a
communication with the west. The recent gold dis-
coveries on the Saskatchewan cannot fail to attract
many adventurers, who must at present be principally
drawn from the U. 8. The settlement of Red River
itself, has now its sole communication with Minnesota,
and will naturally imbibe American principles and
views, unless brought into connection with the British
settlements east and west. Canada must look with
some apprehension to the probable result that, in a
very few years, the population lying to her west, will
be wholly foreign, and that, unless facilities for settle-
ment be afforded from Canada equal to those enjoyed
from the U. S., and unless efficient civil government be
speedily established, British rule over this part of the
continent will virtually have passed away, and the key
of the trade to British Columbia, and ultimately China,
have been surrendered to our rivals. The 11. B. Co.
cannot desire a result that would equally militate
against their own interests, and the Canadian Govern-
ment, therefore, hopes for their hearty co-operation in
opening of the Red River and Saskatchewan Territo-
ries by a communication from Canada to British
Columbia.

The Government of Canada considers that, in con-
nection with the means of transport across the conti-
nent, a telegraphic communication should be estab-
lished us especially necessary for imperial interests,
Inasmuch as both the II. S. and Russia possess tele-
graphic lines to the Pacific, while Great Britain has no
other mode of doing so but through the II. B. territory.
Recent events have proved the paramount importance
of such a line. Leaving untouched, therefore, all dis-
puted questions, I am commanded by his Excellency
to state, that the Canadian Government have decided
at once to establish steam and stage communication to
the extreme limit of the territory under their govern-
ment, and are ready to unite with the II. B. Co. in a
mail service and post, route to British Columbia. The
Canadian Government are also prepared to guarantee
the construction of a telegraph line to the extreme
western limits of the province.

I request that you will inform me how far you will
be prepared to act for the H. B. Co., in carrying out
these objects.

Reply of Mr. Dallas , dated Montreal, lQth April 1862.

“ While admitting the force of the above arguments,
and the immediate necessity of some arrangements
being come to, I am reluctantly compelled to admit
my inability to meet the Government of Canada in
this forward movement, for the following reasons :

First . — The Red River and Saskatchewan valleys,
though notin themselves fur-bearing districts, are the
sources from whence the main supplies of winter food
are procured for the northern posts, from the produce
of the buffalo hunts. A chain of settlements through
these valleys would not only deprive the company of
the above vital resource, but would indirectly, in many
other ways, so interfere with their northern trade, as
to render it no longer worth prosecuting on an ex-
tended scale. It would necessarily be divided into va-
rious channels, possibly to the public benefit, but the
company could no longer exist on its present footing.
The above reasons against a partial surrender of our
territories may not appear sufficiently obvious to par-
ties not conversant with the trade or the country; but
my knowledge of both, based on personal experience,
and from other sources open to mo, point to the conclu-
sion that partial concessions of the districts which
must necessarily be alienated, would inevitably lead to
the extinction of the company.

Second — Granting that the company was willing to
sacrifice its trading interests, the very act would de-
prive it of the means to carry out the proposed meas-
ures. There is no source of revenue to meet the most
ordinary expenditure, and even under present circum-
stances. the company has practically no power to raise
one. The co-operation proposed, in calling on the com-
pany to perform its correlative duties, pre-supnosed it
to stand on an equal footing with Canada. It is not to
be supposed that the Crown would grant more exten-
sive powers to the company than those conveyed by
the charter. If any change be made, it is presumed
that direct administration by the Crown would be re-
sorted to, as the only measure likely to give public sat-
isfaction. N ot having anticipated the present question,
I am without instructions from the Board of Directors
in London for my guidance. 1 believe 1 am, however,
safe in stating my conviction, that the company will
be willing to meet the wishes of the country at large
by consenting to an equitable arrangement for the
surrender of all the rights conveyed by the charter.
I may state that it is my intention to make immediate
arrangements at the existing settlement of Red River,
for the sale of land, on easy terms, free from any re-
strictions of trade. It would, I believe, be impolitic to
make any distinction between British subjects and for-
eigners. The infusion of a British element must be left
to the effects of a closer connection and identity of in-
terests with Canada and the mother country."

In a despatch to Lord Monck, dated 3rd June 1862,
the Duke of Newcastle said: Although it is not in the
power of Her Majesty’s Government to grant assist-
ance from Imperial funds for carrying out the object
which the Canadian Government has in view, there
would be every desire on their part to co-operate in
any well-devised scheme for effecting this important
communication across the American continent. As a
possible preliminary to such an undertaking, I would
direct your lordship's attention to the facilities for the
acquisition of land which the Hudson's Bay Company
announce their intention of ottering to settlers pro-
ceeding to the Red River.

The Duke enclosed a copy of a letter he had received
from W. Berens, Governor of the H. B. Co. Board of
Directors, dated London, 9t.h May 1862. in which he
forwarded a copy of the above correspondence between
Mr. Alleyn and Mr. Dallas, stating that his colleagues
were of opinion that any negotiation on the subject
should he carried on, not with the Colonial authorities,
but with H. M. Govt. Mr. B. added: "The Canadian
Government propose, in the first instance, to establish
steam communication on Lake Superior, and to open
up roads from Fort William in the direction of Red
River, and they appear to consider that it is the duty
of the H. B. Co. to undertake the further prosecution
of the work through their territories. Of course there
is no difficulty, as far as steamers on Lake Superior are
concerned, but between Fort William and the heights
of land the natural difficulties of the country will make
road-making a very expensive business, while the soil,
which consists chiefly of rock and swamps, will offer
no inducements to settlers, even if they obtain the land
for nothing. Within the last few years, a considerable
sum of money has been granted and expended by the
Canadian Government for the purpose of opening this
route, but I am not aware that there has been any prac-
tical result. Beyond Red River, to the base of the
Rocky Mountains, the line will pass through a vast de-
sert, in some places without food or water, exposed to
the incursions of roving bands of Indians, and entirely
destitute of any means of subsistence for emigrants,
save herds of buffalo, which roam at large through the
plains, and whose presence on any particular portion
of these prairies can never be reckoned on. These
again are followed up by Indians in pursuit of food,
whose hostility will expose travellers to the greatest
danger. With regard to the establishment of a tele-
graphic communication, it is scarcely necessary to
point to the prairie fires, the depredations of natives,
and the general chapter of accidents, as presenting
almost insurmountable obstacles to its success.

It is my duty to state that the Directors of the H.
B. Co., cannot risk their capital in doubtful under-
takings of this description, spread over such vast
distances, through a country whore the means of
maintaining them, if once made, will lead to an expen-
diture scarcely to be contemplated. Although, there-
fore, the Directors, on behalf of the Company, are

ready to lend H. M. Government all the moral support
and assistance in their power, it must be distinctly
understood that the company cannot undertake any
outlay in connexion with the scheme suggested by the
Canadian (Government. The company have always
expressed their willingness to surrender the whole or
any part of the territorial rights upon terms that would
secure fair compensation to the proprietors, as well as
to the officers and employes in the country. The
Governor at Red River colony has instructions to
make grants of land to settlers on easy conditions
without any restrictions as to the company’s right of
exclusive trade, and if H. M. Government consider
more extensive plans for the improvement of the
country expedient, the Directors of the Company will
be quite ready to entertain them with the desire to
meet the wishes of Her Majesty’s Government in any
manner not inconsistent with the vested rights of the
constituents.”

On the 15t.h Sept. lS62,'Mr. W. McD. Dawson, M.P.P.
wrote to the Canadian Postmaster General, renewing
the proposals for opening the route to the R. R. Settle-
ment and British Columbia.

He stated that in January 1859, he laid the matter
before the then Colonial Secretary, Sir E. B. Lytton,
proposing an Imperial subsidy of £40, 000 per annum
for carrying the mails to the Pacific. The plan was
approved, but a change of Government took place
before any action had been taken.

He proposed : 1st. That an Order in Council be pass-
ed, providing that £10,000 per annum, stg., be appro-
priated for mail service to British Columbia; the
service to Red River to be performed as specified in
the Order in Council 7tli Dec., 1859, and thence to the
boundary of British Columbia, to the satisfaction of
the Postmaster General; 2nd. The money for the
construction of the route to be drawn from the bank
in which it may be deposited only upon progress esti-
mates of work done, certified by such officer as may
be appointed by the government for that purpose.
3rd. A grant of lauds to be made to the parties em-
barking in the undertaking, consisting of blocks, alter-
nating with blocks of equal size to be reserved by the

{ government along the route ; but that where the
ands are absolutely unfit for settlement, the extent
found worthless be made good elsewhere ; 4th. These
lands to be gradually sold under regulations to be
approved by the Governor in Council, and the pro-
ceeds placed in a sinking fund for the redemption of
the money expended on the construction of the route;
6th. The lands to be thus granted by Canada, so far
as her boundary may ultimately be decided to extend,
and a recommendation to be made to the Imperial
Government that in any disposition of territory on the
route that may be decided not to be within the bounda-
ries of Canada, the same appropriation of lands be
provided for under the same conditions; 6th. That a
despatch be written to the Imperial Government inti-
mating the action taken, and urging such co-operation
and aid as may be found necessary to induce capitalists
in England to provide the means for carrying the
enterprise to a successful issue.

Extracts from the Report of Hon. Mr. Foley, late
Postmaster General, 17 th Oct., 1862, on the subject.
The circumstances w hich for somo years past have
indicated the expediency of opening up communica-
tions westward from Lake Superior, derive additional
importance from the recent and continuous intercourse
witli British Columbia, consequent upon the disco-
veries there of valuable gold fields ; whilst the reported
existence of the same precious metal in the fertile
valley of the Saskatchewan,has had the effect of awaken-
ing a yet deeper interest in what in Canada is popu-
larly known as the Red River country. Under so
powerful an impulse, a rapid stream of emigration has
set towards the Pacific, which gives indications of
indefinite expansion in view of the encouraging reports
which are constantly received of the richness of the
mines and the value of the country as a field for settle-
ment. The shortest and most natural route to these
inviting territories lies through the St. Lawrence and
its chain of tributary lakes; but owing to the want of
facilities for transit beyond the head of Lake Superior,
persons destined for the western settlements necessa-
rily make the voyage by sea, or accomplish the first
stage in the land journey — Fort Garry on the Red
River — by way of Minnesota and Dacotah. Thus it
may in truth be said that the people of the neighbor-

ing states hold the key to the British possessions in the
west, and while by this means their wild lands are
being settled and improved, ours, lying immediately
adjacent and quite as w ? ell fitted for cultivation, remain
a mere hunting ground for the sole benefit and advan-
tage of a company of traders whose object it is to keep
them a wilderness productive only of game, and who,
to this end, do all in their power to divert into foreign
channels, to the promotion of alien interests, the com-
merce carried on by them with the outside world.

The time has arrived when more decisive and effec-
tive means should be employed in opening up and
perfecting the communication westward from Lake
Superior through British territory. Cut off from inter-
course with their fellow-subjects, except on condition
of submitting to the inconveniences, losses, and nume-
rous vexations of a circuitous journey through a foreign
country, and which, on the occurrence of difficulty,
would be closed to them, or but afford facility for their
invasion, and, under the circumstances, all but certain
conquest, the people of the R. R. settlement have for
many years past been loud in their expressions of dis-
satisfaction. Minnesota, and not Canada, is, from
imperious necessity, the emporium of their trade ; the
chief recent additions to their population are from the
United States, and their sympathies, in spite of their
wishes, are being drawn into a channel leading in an
opposite direction from that of the source of their
allegiance. In a word, the central link in the chain
of settlements which should connect Canada with
British Columbia is being rapidly Americanized, and
unless a prompt effort be made to advance British
interests in that direction, there is reason to fear that
incalculable mischief will follow. The tendencies
which have in the main operated in keeping the North-
Western country closed to the industrial enterprise of
the British and Canadian people may be tracea to the
alleged obstacles in the w r ay of the construction of prac-
ticable roads and the improvement of navigation.
Recent explorations, however, prove these obstacles
to have been greatly exaggeratecl . The expeditions of
the Imperial and Canadian Governments demonstrate
the entire feasibility of establishing communication
for postal and telegraphic service at reasonable rates
through the territories which the Hudson Bay Com-
pany claim as being under their jurisdiction. Starting
from the head or the Lake Superior, with which,
during the summer months, constant intercourse is
maintained by steamers, the route naturally divides
itself into three sections, the first extending to the
Red River settlement, the next stretching forward to
the Rocky Mountains, and the third reaching thence
to the l’acific.

Mr. S. Dawson, who explored the first named section
in 1868, under the direction of the Provincial Govern-
ment, describes that portion of it extending from Lake
Superior to Lake Winnipeg, “as a hilly and broken
country, intersected by rapid rivers and wide spread
lakes. The mountains, however,” he adds “do not
rise to any great elevation except on the immediate
borders of Lake Superior, and there are some fine allu-
vial valleys, the most extensive of which is that of
Rainy River. The lakes and rivers, present long
reaches of navigable w T ater, the principal of which,
extending from Fort Francis to the western extremity
of Lake Flat, is 158 miles in length. Dense forests
cover the whole of this region, and the most valuable
kinds of wood are seen in various places and in consi-
derable quantities.” The most difficult and laborious
part of the journey is the first, leading up to the
“ height of land ” from Lake Superior. Before Mr.
Dawson’s exploration, the rocky, broken structure of
the country by the Kaministaquia was thought to pre-
sent an insuperable barrier to further extension, except
at an immense expenditure ; but his examination led
to the discovery of a good line from Thunder Bay to
Dog Lake, by which the entire practicability of that
part of the route w r as established. The country from
the Lake of the Woods to Fort G arry is spoken of by
the same authority as a region differing as widely as
may be in its physical character from that which has
previously been described. Although the distance
across from the Lake of the Woods to Red River is but
90 miles, the country gradually undergoes a change
for the better until the prairie region is reached, about
30 miles east of Fort Garry. Hence, through the R.
R. settlement, by the valley of the Saskatchewan, to
the base of the Rocky Mountains (forming the second

/

[1864. B. N. A.

section of the route) the country presents the same
favorable characteristics of fertile prairie, thinly wood-
ed here and there by clumps of timber. Over this by
iar the most extensive of the three divisions referred
to, Rood nat ural roads in constant use by the Red River
settlers and the H. 15. Company’s employes, already
exist; besides which the Saskatchewan River is report-
ed, on good authority, to be navigable for steamboats
from near its mouth, with but one short interruption,
to the very foot of the mountains. The crossing of the
Rocky Mountains has been objected to as one of the
obstacles in the overland route; but that, too, has been
proved by actual exploration to be much loss formi-
dable than it had been supposed, Capt. Falliser, in his
report to the British Government, stating: “1 am
rejoiced to say that I have completely succeeded in
discovering a pass practicable not only for horses, but
one which, with but little expense, could be rendered
available for carts also. This pass will connect the
prairies of the Saskatchewan with Her Majesty’s pos-
sessions on the west side of the Rocky Mountains.”
And further on, in the same report, speaking of another
pass explored by Dr. Hector, who was attached to the
expedition in a scientific capacity, ('apt. l’alliser adds :
“ He found the facilities for crossing the mountains so
great, as to leave little doubt in his mind of the prac-
ticability of constructing even a railroad connecting
the plains of the Saskatchewan with the opposite side
of the main chain of the Rocky Mountains.”

Dr. Hector himself, in j«S report, says: “The ascent
to the watershed from tti# f askatchewan is hardly per-
ceptible to the traveller, who is prepared for a tremen-
dous climb by which to reach the dividing ridge of the
Rocky Mountains, and no labour would be required,
except that of hewing timber, to construct an easy road
for carts, by which it might be attained.”

Of the descent on the western slope of the mountains,
he remarks : “A road for carts down the valley of Ver-
million river, from the height of land to the Kootamie
river, could be cleared without difficulty ; for, suppos-
ing the road to follow a straight line along the river,
and the descent to be uniform, which it almost is, the
incline would only be forty feet in a mile, or 1 in 135.”
Other passes discovered indicate equal facilities.

With regard to the third or British Columbian sec-
tion, as it appears from the views held by the Colonial
Minister, that Canada would not be expected to parti-
cipate in its construction, it is only necessary to say
that its practicability has been satisfactorily proved.
Capt. Ralliser, after giving all the details of his explo-
rations west of the Rocky Mountains, claims as one of
the results of the expedition under his command, “ that
we have succeeded in rinding a way from R. R. settle-
ment across the Rocky Mountains to the mouth of
Fraser River, entirely in British territory,” and which,
even in its wild state, he intimates to be “a loute prac-
ticable for horses ’’throughout. And there is abundant
reason for believing that the hearty co-operation of the
people of British Columbia would be certain in any ju-
dicious effort to bring them into closer intercourse
with their fellow North American colonists. Of the
prospective value of that intercourse, and as an indica-
tion of their anxious desire for the opening up of com-
munication between their own colony and Canada, the
undersigned, from numerous communications received
by him on the subject, takes the liberty of quoting the
following passage from a letter recently written him by
a Canadian, resident at New Westminster : “ We hope
that you and your friends will not forget us here; but
that your best efforts will be directed to the opening up
of a communication with this country by means of an
overland route, whereby a market might be secured for
Canadian produce, of which the colonists here would
most gladly avail themselves. 1 believe that Canada
could supply the miners in the Cariboo district as
cheaply, if not more cheaply, than they were able to
get their supplies this summer. This country would
pay in treasure the very thing you want; for just as
soon as provisions can be obtained here at a reasonable
rate, say &25 to 3530 per barrel for flour, there would at
once be an immense extent of mining country opened
up. Canadians now exert a controlling influence here,
and our great desire is to see a practicable road con-
structed between the Canadian and the British Colum-
bian Provinces.”

The availability then of a continuous route on British
soil being established, the question arises as to its suit-
ability for settlement. On this point there exists abun-

dant favorable evidence. Speaking generally of the
country from Bake Superior to Red River, Sir Alexan-
der Mackenzie says : “There is not, perhaps, a liner
country in the world for uncivilized man. It abounds
in everything necessary to the w T ants and comforts of
such a people. Fish, venison, and fowl, w ith wild rice,
are in great plenty.” And more particularly specifying
the central part of the same tract of country, Sir George
Simpson, in his interesting work, “A Journey round
the World,” says that the country between Lake of the
Woods and Rainy Lake is most favorable to agricul-
ture, resembling* in some measure the banks of the
Thames, near Richmond. And describing the water
communication from Fort Francis downwards, he
asks: “ Is it too much for the eye of philanthropy to
discern, through the vista of futurity, this noble stream,
connecting as it does the fertile shores of two spacious
lakes, with crowtoed steamboats on its bosom, and
populous towns on its banks? ” Corroborative of this
testimony is that of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, wdio,
speaking of the same stream, says : “ This is one of the
finest rivers in the North-West. Its banks are covered
with a rich soil, particularly to the north, which in
many parts are clothed with fine open groves of oak,
with the maple, the pine, and the cedar.” Of the
country watered by the Red River and Lake Winnipeg,
Mr. John McLean says: “Red River rises in swamps
and small lakes in the distant plains of the south, and
after receiving a number of tributary streams, that
serve to fertilize and beautify as fine a tract of land as
the world possesses, discharges itself into the eastern
extremity of Lake Winnipeg, in latitude fifty. The
climate is much the same as in the midland districts of
Canada; the river is generally frozen across about the
beginning of November, and open about the beginning
of April. The soil along the banks of the river is of
the richest vegetable mould, and of so great a depth
that crops or wheat are produced for several years
without the application of manure. The banks pro-
duce oak, elm, maple, and ash. The woods extend
rather more than a mile inland. The farms of the set-
tlers are now nearly clear of wood. An open plain
succeeds of from four to six miles in breadth, affording
excellent pasture. Woods and plains alternate after-
wards, until you reach the boundless prairie.”

In another place the same writer says: “Thus it
happens that the Red River farmer finds a sure market
for six or eight bushels of wheat and no more. The in-
comparable advantages this country possesses are not
only in a great measure lost to the inhabitants, but
also to the w’orld, so long as it remains under the do-
minion of its fur-trading rulers. In the possession of,
and subject to, the immediate jurisdiction of the Crown,
Assiniboine would become a great and flourishing col-
ony, the centre of civilization and Christianity to the
surrounding tribes, who would be converted from hos-
tile barbarians into a civilized and loyal people, and
thus Great Britain would extend and establish her do-
minion in a portion of her empire that may be said to
have been hitherto unknown to her, whilst she would
open up a new field for the enterprise and industry of
her sons.” On this head there is much additional tes-
timony ; but two further quotations may suffice. One
is an extract from an article published in May, 1860, in
the newspaper established in the colony, by gentlemen
from Canada, whose statements are entitled to the full-
est credit: — “ One farmer says, that last year he put
down eight bushels of wheat on four acres of land, and
got a return of 153 bushels: this was nineteen to one,
and about 38 to the acre. Another says, he put down
forty-three bushels on eighteen acres, and obtained 753
bushels : this is more than seventeen to one, and forty-
two to the acre. A third put down sixteen bushels on
eight acres, and had 401 of a return, making twenty-
five to one, and fifty to the acre. Two others are as
follows: seven bushels sown on four acres yield 170
bushels, being twenty-four to one, and forty-two per
acre. Again, six bushels sown on four acres, returned
180, which made thirty to one sown, and forty-five to
the acre. The fields were accurately measured, and
the : facts and figures carefully made out, and may be
relied on.” The other quotation is from the evidence
of Col. Crofton, before a Committee of the House of
Commons :

(Mr. Roebuck). — Can you tell me when the spring or
summer in the R. R. settlement begins? — The season
opens about the first week in April, and closes about
the middle of November. That is about what occurs

HUDSON BAY TERRITORY.

223

in Lower Canada?— I thought it was about that of Up-
per Canada; 1 may be wrong.

Does the summer season close as early as the middle
of November ? — The summer season may be said to close
in August, but the tinest weather is what is called “the
fall,” which extends from August to the middle of
November.

When does the permanent snowfall? — It commences
in the latter part of November, and is not off the ground
until the first week in April.

Ilad you an opportunity of seeing anything of agri-
culture while you were there? — A great deal.

What sort of crops did they grow?— Oats, barley,
and wheat, chiefly ; but all sorts of vegetables.

Did the wheat ripen? — In 90 days from sowing.

It ripened very perfectly? — It was the finest wheat
I ever saw.

Was the soil fertile? — Along the immediate banks of
the rivers, and extending for perhaps the breadth of
two miles, no finer loamy soil could be seen, with a
limestone foundation

Is it geologically limestone?— All.

And wherever limestone is, there is fertile land? — I
think that is the consequence.

Do you know how far the limestone extends, looking
at that map? — I have ascertained from servants of the
H. B. Co., that it extends, as a base of the whole prai-
rie laud, to the Rocky Mountains.

So that in fact that part of the territory is fit for
agriculture? — Quite so.

And would make a good Colony ?— It might maintain
millions.

As to the Saskatchewan country, the richness of its
soil and its adaptability for settlement are so well
known and understood that it is unnecessary to dwell
on them at so great length. This country is the favorite
resort of vast herds of Buffalo — an unerring indication
of the mildness of the climate and the fertility of the
soil. Capt. Falliser speaks of it as a partially wooded
oountry, abounding in lakes and rich natural pastur-
age, in some parts rivalling the finest park scenery in
England.

TJie bulk of the valuable trade of the Red River
country is at present made tributary to the Western
States. Penetrating through their own unsettled ter-
ritory a distance of some hundreds of miles, the people
of Minnesota have spared no exertion or expense to
secure the large and profitable commerce of tne R. R.
country beyond. The returns have amply rewarded
them for their outlay, and if mere trading interests are
considered as a sufficient compensation by the Minne-
sotians for opening up communication to the Red
River (to them a foreign country), how much more
ought the same considerations, when superadded to
the many others of equal if not of yet higher import-
ance, which apply in the case of Canada, to cause sur-

f irise in regard to our indecision and supineness in not
ong before stretching forth our communication so as
to embrace a country presenting so many features of
interest. The trade passing between the R. R. settle-
ment and the United States, even in the present con-
dition of the North West, was stated by the Earl of
Carnarvon in his place in the House of Lords to amount
to no less than $1,500,000, during the summer of 1859.
Added to this, traffic to the amount of at least $500,000
finds its way through the channels of the Hudson
Bay. Thus there is a commerce of about $2,000,000
annually maintained with the North West, the greater
portion of which, even supposing most of the country
to continue under the control of the H. B. Company,
would pass over the proposed new' route attracted
thither by the three combined requisites, cheapness of
carriage, shortness of the road, and speed. Such being
the trade of the country, whilst as yet but slightly im-
proved from its natural state, who shall estimate its
value w'hen brought under the influences of advancing
civilization, and made to administer to the wants of the
millions we are assured of its capability of sustaining
in comfort and affluence.

From Toronto to Fort Garry, by way of St. Paul, or,
as it is called, the Minnesota route, the distance is over
1500 miles; bv the Lake Superior, or Canadian, 1114
miles. The former, in its unimproved state, was the
more practicable, because of the nature of the soil, the
evenness of surface, and comparative absence of wood-
land ; but, with each equally improved, ours would be
decidedly the more advantageous.

In July last the undersigned, considering an arrange-
ment, the preliminaries of which had been agreed upon
for the carrying of the mails to Fort William, to be at
once improvident, and useless as regards the opening
up of the territory, recommended its ai r g;tion and
the establishment of a temporary mail service for the
season, pending further action of a more permanent
character. In the report which he had then the honor
to make, and which was adopted by the Governor
General in Council, the importance of aiding in the
securing of the needed communication with the N. W.
Territories, was fully sanctioned. He now respectfully
submits that to render effective the suggestions then so
recognized, it is desirable that immediate steps should
be taken to commence at the opening of navigation
next year, a series of operations having for their object,
first, the establishment of a regular mail service to the
head of Lake Superior; and, secondly, the construction
of roads and the improvement of the lakes and rivers
thence westward tow ards British Columbia. From the
best information obtainable on the subject, and which
the undersigned believes to be wholly reliable, it is as-
certained that a sum of £80,000 would be abundantly
sufficient for the permanent opening up and establish-
ment of efficient and continuous land and water com-
munication to Red River from the head of Lake Supe-
rior. Thence to the passes of the Rocky Mountains, it
is estimated that an additional £100,000 would be
amply adequate. Thus the whole expenditure, includ-
ing steam service on Lake Superior and on the navi-
gable reaches beyond would certainly not exceed
£ 200 , 000 .

In view of all the facts and circumstances, and feel-
ing that on our people it is the initiative in the matter
rests — that it is to this Province the Imperial Govern-
ment looks for a commencement of the movement, a
movement demanded alike from our patriotism and our
interests— the undersigned considers himself fully jus-
tified in submitting that— unless the Government deem
it expedient to proceed under the direction of the Com-
missioner of Public Works— as soon as it can be satis-
factorily shewn that competent and responsible parties
are prepared to assume the work, they should propose
to Parliament the granting of an annual subsidy of
$50,000, or such other sum as his Excellency the Gov-
ernor General in Council mav deem judicious, for a
term of years, towards the undertaking.

Report of Committee of Executive Council, approved
by Governor General in Council, 9th Feb. 1803.

“The Committee having taken into consideration the
report of the Postmaster General, concur in the opinion
expressed in that report, and advise that a sum of
$50,000 be placed in the estimates of the approaching
session, for the purpose of carrying out the same in the
manner suggested in that report, or in any other that
may be deemed more advantageous.”

During the past year, the interests of the Hudson
Bay Company have been disposed of. The new Com-
pany proposed a scheme for opening up the territory
between Canada and British ( olumbia, by a trans-con-
tinental waggon road and telegraph line, with the ulti-
mate view of constructing a raihvay. The Duke of
Newcastle, in a speech in the House of Lords in July,
1883, stated the facts of this transfer as foil >ws : —

The II, B. Co. had expressed a wish to sell. Certain
parties in the city had, in the first instance, entered
into communication with them for the purpose either
of purchasing or obtaining permission for a transit
through the Company's possessions. After some nego-
tiations, the alternative of permission for a transit w r as
agreed upon. But a fortnight or three weeks ago
fresh negotiations wore opened. Farties in the city
proposed to the H. B. Co. to give them by way of
purchase a sum of £1,500,000. What had appeared in
the papers was that the rights of the H. B. Co. had
been transferred to the International Financial Asso-
ciation. What had taken place was this :— The II. B.
Co. very prudently lequired that the money should
be paid down, and that the whole sum of £1,600,000
be ready on a given day, which he believed was yes-
terday. Of course the intending purchasers could not
carry out that transaction in the course of a week, and
they therefore applied to the International Financial
Association to assist them. The Association agreed to
do so, and the money either had been paid, or would
be ready on a day arranged upon. The shares would

224

HUDSON BAY TERRITORY,

[1864. B. N. A.

be thrown upon the market to be taken up in the
ordinary business way upon the formation of compa-
nies. These shares would not remain in the hands of
the association, but would pass to the proprietors as if
they had bought theirshares direct from the II. B. Co.
The company would only enjoy the rights which those
shares carried, and no more. They would in fact, be
a continuation of the company, but their efforts would
be directed to the promotion of the settlement of the
country, the development of the postal and transit
communication being one of the objects to which they
would apply themselves. The old Governor and his
colleagues, having sold their shares, ceased to be the
governing body of the H. B. Co., and anew council,
consisting of most responsible persons, had been
formed. Among them were two of the committee of
the old company. There were also seven or eight most
influential and responsible people, the|Govern or being
Sir Edmund Head. While the Council, as practical
men of business, would be bound to promote the pros-
perity of their shareholders, he was sure they would be
actuated by statesmanlike views. No negotiation with
the Colonial Office had taken place, and, as this was a
mere ordinary transfer, no leave on their part was ne-
cessary. But arrangements must be entered into with
the Colonial Offico for the settlement of the country,
and at some future time it would be no doubt his duty
to inform their lordships what these arrangements
were.

Prof. Hind, writing in the British American for Oc-
tober, says : “A few months ago the public were taken
by surprise at the announcement that the Hudson Bay
Co. had disposed of the whole of its rights and interests
in the vast territory over which it had so long held un-
disputed sway, to a new company, bearing the same
name, but with far more liberal views of its duties and
responsibilities. The II . B. Co. of 1862 had but one ob-
ject in view, namely, the prosecution of the fur trade;
and in order to accomplish its mission as a great fur-
trading monopoly it sought to retain the wilderness

over which it exercised absolute control as a preserve
for wild animals. The H. B. Co. of 1863 have marked
out a very different course of action, if we are to be
guided bv the prospectus issued, the announcements
made in the public prints, and by the steps which have
already been taken to carry out the projects of the
company, who are ‘ to extend their operations, and de-
velop the numerous resources of the country, in accord-
ance with the spirit of the age.’ The work of construct-
ing a telegraph across the continent has been already
commenced, and it is generally understood that the
lirst step will be the construction of a line from Fort
Garry to Jasper House, on the east flank of the Rocky
Mountains. A continuation will then be made along
the line of road now in course of construction from New
Westminster to Cariboo, which, according to recent
accounts from California, is rapidly progressing to
completion.” The Toronto Globe , in October last, said:
"Notwithstanding the high position of the entrepre-
neurs of the new H. B. Co., the stock fell immediately
after it was placed on the market, to between two and
three per cent, discount, and is, by the last advices, at
2 to 3 discount. We cannot say what effect this unwil-
lingness of capitalists to invest may have upon the
movements of the Company. The million and a-half to
the old Company will, of course, be paid, the Interna-
tional Association being responsible for it, but whether
the new Company will be in a position to proceed at
once with the works necessary to open up the country,
is at least questionable."

Mixture of Races in Red River .— The population of
this settlement consists mainly of what are termed half*
breeds, in whose veins the blood of the red man is com-
mingled with that of the white. The half-breeds, how-
ever, are said to be on a par with the whites, both
physically and mentally, and perfect good feeling ex-
ists between the two classes. The Governors of British
Columbia audited River are both said to have mar-
ried ladies of mixed race.

NOVA SCOTIA.

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION.

Nova Scotia, up to the year 1784, included the
province now called New Brunswick, the whole
being formerly known under the name of Acadia,
which was the term used iu the original commis-
sion of the king of France. The country was dis-
covered by Sebastian Cabot in 1498. In 1518, Baron
De L<§ry, an adventurous Frenchman, anxious that
his country should have a share in the work of colo-
nization, proposed to found a French establishment
in Acadia, and accordingly set sail with a company
of explorers; but the enterprise miscarried, owing
to tempestuous weather and other obstacles. No
further attempt was made till about 1603, when the
Sicur de Font Grav6, lured by the prospect of gain,
formed a plan to obtain a monopoly of the fur trade in
Canada and Acadia. In 1603, Champlain having sailed
up the St. Lawrence as far as Sault St. Louis, Henry
IV. of France w as so pleased with the result of his
voyage, that he granted to M. de Monts a monopoly of
the fur traffic in all parts of North America lying
between Cape Race, in Newfoundland, up to the 50th
degree of north latitude. The expedition under de
Monts sailed in March 1604. Acadia, then the chief
place of resort for French traffic, was considered to be
the finest country of New France. It possessed fine
ports, a fertile soil, and a temperate and salubrious
climate. The Micmac or Algonquin Indians, who
then inhabited the country, are said to have received
the French with kindness. The expedition landed
first at Port Rossignol, now named Liverpool, and
afterwards coasted the peninsula as far as the bottom
of the Bay of Fundy. It also stopped at Port Royal,
now called Annapolis, and finally wintered in an islet
at the mouth of the Ste. Croix. Thirty-six of the party
died of scurvy during the winter, and in spring De
Monts went further south. During his absonce Pont
Grav6 arrived from France with 40 additional colo-
nists, and on the return of De Monts, the entire body
set out for Port Royal, where they began to build a
town. During these early attempts to found settle-
ments, Lcscarbot, the philosopher, was of invaluable
service to the colonists. Under his guidance the set-
tlers constructed water-mills for grinding grain, fur-
naces for clarifying gum, apparatus for making bricks,
and many other useful machines, the operation of
w hich filled the aborigines with astonishment.

But misfortunes came upon the settlement. A party
of Dutchmen seized a wffiole year’s store of peltries ;
and the merchants of St. Malo, who were jealous of
the monopoly of the peltry traffic, succeeded in getting
it revoked. These disasters caused the colonists to
leave Port Royal in 1617. De Monts went to Canada.
Three years after, Do Poutrincourt, the governor,
returned with a number of skilled artisans. But the
Jesuits, after the assassination of Henry IV., having
succeeded in effecting an entrance into the colony,
many of the settlers retired from the Acadian associa-
tion in disgust, and dissensions sprang up, which
proved the ruin of the settlement The colonists of
Virginia also interfered, claiming Acadia by right of
original discovery. Captain Argali, from Virginia,
following up this pretension, appeared suddenly before

St. Sauveur with a ship of 14 guns, and carried the
place by storm. The government of Virginia subse-
quently resolved to expel the French from every
point, southward of the 45th parallel of north latitude,
including the central region of Acadia; and Argali’
with three armed vessels, was commissioned to put the
resolution into force. Port Royal was destroyed. Some
of the colonists fled, and Poutrincourt returned to
France. The Virginians left Acadia; but, in 1621, Sir
William Alexander obtained a grant of the Peninsula
from James I. of England, the territory, the extent of
which was not well defined, being called Nova Scotia
in the patent. In 1622, Alexander sent a body of
emigrants to begin a settlement. Arriving late in the
season they were obliged to winter in Newfoundland.
In 1623 they reached Cape Sable, but finding the
French in possession of the settlements they intended
to occupy, they returned to Britain.

In 1628, Charles I. granted certain tracts of land to
various persons, who were to be called “ baronets of
Nova Scotia.” They were created as a sort of associa-
tion for the purpose of colonizing the country. But in
1632, by the treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye, Britain
renounced all the pretensions that had ever been put
forward by her subjects, and the possession of the
Acadian settlements was confirmed to France. An
intestine war, however, arose between La Tour, who
had obtained a concession of Alexander's rights, and
Charnisey, who had been named chief governor of
Acadia in 1647. After a fierce struggle, the latter proved
victorious. But in 1654 Cromwell sent an expedition
to regain Acadia, and the sovereignty of the country
was for some time divided. In 1667, by the treaty of
Breda, Acadia was again transferred to France. The
development of the country had been greatly neglected
by both French and English. The land was held in
immense tracts by patentees, who systematically op-
posed its improvement. After the peace of Breda the
French establishments continued so weak that a band
of pirates numbering only 110, captured Pentagoet,
the headquarters of Gov. Chambly. In 1685, the po-
pulation w as reported to be 900, by M. De Meules.

In 1690, Port Royal surrendered to Admiral Phipps,
and the British remained masters of Acadia till 1697,
when it w as once more restored to the French. 31.
de Villebon, who was governor at this time, having
died July 1700, Brouillon succeeded. War having
been declared against France at the beginning of
Queen Anne’s reign, the possession of Acadia w'as
again disputed. The New Englanders organized an-
other expedition for its conquest in 1707. On the 6th
June of this year, a squadron of two ships of war, and
23 transports carrying 2,000 men, appeared before Port
Royal. The fortifications being well defended, this
and a subsequent attack were repulsed, but finally, in
1710, Port Royal was forced to surrender to a colonial
expedition, and the loss of Acadia was involved in the
surrender. The power of France being weakened by
protracted w ar, she w as obliged to cedeAcadia.together
with Newfoundland and the Hudson Bay territory, to
Britain, by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. One of the
motives which prompted this eager struggle between
the two nations for theproprietorship of Nova Scotia,

226

NOVA SCOTIA.

[ 1864 . B. N A.

was the desire on the part of each to obtain exclusive
possession of the fisheries.

The French having lost Acadia and Newfoundland,
the two portals of Canada, began to construct fortifi-
cations on the island of Cape Breton, then called Isle
Royale, as a protection to their Canadian possessions.
The first settlement in this island (which was united
under the same government with Nova Scotia in 1819,)
was made in 1712 by the French. It had been dis-
covered by Cabot in 1497. Previous to the year 1700 it
had been frequented only by fur traders and fishermen.
Alter the loss of Acadia, the French turned their atten.
tion to this island, and began to build the fortifications
of Louisburg, which continued to be the capital for
many years, the government being modelled on that
of Canada. War having again been declared between
France and England, Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts
formed the design of taking Louisburg, though the
place was supposed to be almost impregnable. The
expedition sailed from Boston, and arrived at Canso
on the 5th April 1745. The reinforcements dispatched
by the French were captured by the English admiral,
and Louisburg was finally forced to capitulate. The
Canadians in great alarm, sent to France for help,
and an expedition was got up to reconquer Acadia
and Cape Breton. But the hostile fleet met with ter-
rible disasters. Wrecked and dispersed by violent
storms, and the crews thinned by epidemic, the ex-
pedition accomplished nothing, and only a remnant
returned to France. By the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle
in 1748, Cape Breton was restored to France, but it
was soon alter finally attached to the British posses-
sions.

Nova Scotia had thus, after a tedious alternation of
proprietorship, come wholly under British rule. Little,
however, was done to develop the resources of the coun-
try till 1749, when efforts were put forth to colonize it
by emigrants sent out at the expense of the British
government. About 4,000 colonists and their families
being by this means lauded in the colony, the town
of Halifax was founded. The capture of Louisburg
having secured the settlers from further annoyance by
the French, the colony progressed rapidly. A consti-
tution was granted in 1758, modified m 1784, and re-
sponsible government introduced in 1848. By the treaty
of Paris, in Feb. 1763, France renounced all claim
upon her British North American possessions, with a
few trivial exceptions. New Brunswick and Cape
Breton were separated from Nova Scotia in 1784, but
Cape Breton and Nova Scotia ware re-united in 1819.

After the final cession of Acadia to Britain by the
treaty of 1713, many of the Acadians remained in the
country, but refused to take the oath of allegiance.
They were allowed to follow their own mode of wor-
ship, and to have magistrates of their own selection.
Being also exempted from bearing arms against their
countrymen, they received the name of noutral French.
When the French had lost Acadia and built the fortifi-
cations at Louisburg, as mentioned above, they in-
trigued with the Indians, who constantly harassed the
English. The neutral French, who for the most part
were a peaceful agricultural people, were suspected of
giving assistance to the hostile French and Indians;
and as they still refused to take the oath of allegiance,
or bear arms against their countrymen, the governor
and council resolved to remove the whole people

18,000 in number, and disperse them among the other
provinces. This determination was rigorously carried
out, the greater part of the inhabitants being hurriedly
shipped, their property destroyed, and themselves
scattered over the continent.

The legislature of Nova Scotia consists of an elective
house of assembly, and a council of twenty-one mem-
bers, appointed by the lieutenant governor subject to
the approval of the crown. The lieutenant governor
is assisted by a council of nine members. The laws in
force in Nova Scotia are the same as the laws of Eng-
land, with some local alterations and additions. The
province was created a diocese in 1787. There are also
two Roman Catholic bishoprics — Nova Scotia and Cape
Breton.

GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL
OBSERVATIONS.

This Province is, including Cape Breton, 350 miles in
length, 100 in breadth, and in 1861 contained 330,857
inhabitants.

The country is beautifully variegated by ranges of
lofty hills and broad valleys, both of which run longi-
tudinally through the Province. Its Atlantic frontier,
for 20 miles inland, is composed of a poor soil, though
rich in gold and other valuable minerals. The Cobe-
quid range of mountains, as they are called, run
through the interior of the Province. The sum-
mits of a few of the conical mounts of this range as-
cend 1100 feet, and are cultivable nearly to their
tops. Oji each side of these mountains are two exten-
sive ranges of rich arable lands, where agricultural
operations are carried on extensively, and with profit.

The Province is 900 miles in circumference; and,
with the exception of 15 miles, where it joins New
Brunswick, it faces the Atlantic, Bay of Fundy, Straits
of Northumberland, and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Deep
and spacious harbors dot its seaboard ; and the interior
is pierced in all directions by navigable rivers, thus ad-
mirably adapting the country for commercial pursuits.

The trade with the United States has grown more
rapidly since the Reciprocity treaty came into opera-
tion. The internal war of that country is now re-
tarding commercial intercourse; though it has been
the cause of many additional vessels being built in the
Lower Provinces. The intercolonial treaty provid-
ing for the interchange of native products, has also
afforded an impetus to commercial intercourse be-
tween the British North American Colonies. But
what is now desired, is a railway from Halifax to
River du Loup, to bind the Lower Provinces to
Canada; give a stimulus to commercial intercourse;
develop the latent resources of the country; and bind
four millions of loyal people together.

NATURAL HISTORY.

As the Natural History of each of the Lower Pro-
vinces is very much alike, it is needless to repeat the
subject hero in detail. We therefore refer the reader
to the section of this work relating to New Bruns-
wick for a brief outline of the Natural History of the
country.

GEOLOGY.

New Tied, Sandstone. — This system is confined to a
narrow bolt which circles the head of Minas basin and
Cobequid bay, and a narrow ridge extending from
Annapolis basin along the bay of Fundv, and within
five miles of the last named bay, to the Minas basin.

Minerals. — The minerals of this system are not suffi"
ciently extensive to warrant mining operations; the
principal are magnetic and specular iron ore, copper,
quartz, and a great variety of finely crystalized minerals
not of much use in commerce, though of importance
to the geologist in ascertaining the geological cha-
racter of the country.

Carboniferous, or Coal Districts. — This district forms
a large part of the counties of Cumberland, Colchester,
Hants, Pictou, Sydney, Guysborough, and the island
of Cape Breton.

Minerals. — Coal in great abundance and of good
quality, grindstone, limestone, gypsum, iron ore, grey
oxide of manganese, galena, or sulphate of lead, sand-
stone, brick and pottery clay, sulphate of barytes, used
as a substitute for white lead, and copperas. Coal is
raised at Pictou, Joggins, and Sydney.

Devonian and, Upper Silurian Pocks. — This system
lies in detached spots, in the counties of Digby, Anna-
polis, Kings, Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou, Sydney,
Guysborough, and the southern Atlantic coast of Cape
Breton island.

Minerals. — Iron ore is very plentiful and of good qual-
ity at Great Village, Colchester; Moose river and
Nictau in Annapolis, and East river of Pictou. The
varieties of iron ore are specular, magnetic, and brown
hematite, along with anthracite and other ferruginous
substances. The other minerals of this system are cop-
per in small quantities; sulphate of barytes, white,
coloured, and spotted marble; porphyry and quartz.

The Metamorphic District — Extends along the Atlan-
tic coast of Nova Scotia proper, from Chedabucto bay
to Saint Mary's bay. Its length is 250 miles, breadth
40 miles ; it consists of altered rocks such as clay-stone,
quartz rock, mica stone, granite, gneiss, etc.

The Metamorphic district until within the last three
years was considered the most unprofitable formation
in the Province. Gold is now found in large quantities,
imbedded in the slaty and quartzite rocks of this for-
mation, as will appear from the details given below.

MINERALS.

There is no country on the American Continent, of
equal extent, where useful minerals are so abundant,
and where the facilities for transportation are so ad-
vantageous as in Nova Scotia.

Gold, copper, iron ore, and coal, besides numerous
other mineral substances, valuable in commerce, are
abundant.

Gold has been found in all parts of the metamorphic
district. With the exception of a few spots of alluvial
diggings, gold is found in quartz veins, varying in
thickness from the fraction of an inch to several feet.
The quartz with the accompanying rocks are very
bard, and run in all directions.

The following tabular statement is extracted from
the Gold Commissioners’ Report for 1862. It shows

the total quantity of gold obtained from quartz and
rubbish crushed, and from alluvial washings.

The total amount received for rent was $29,467

And the expenditure was $25,631

Chief gold commissioner’s salary 1,416

Balance paid to the receiver general 2,420

Of the expenditure $9,166 were paid proprietors of
land, and $4,840 were expended in the construction of
roads in the vicinity of the mines. The average number
of men employed during the year was 500; so the
quantity obtained would average over one dollar per
aay to each labourer.

The rent system having been abolished, and royalty
only collected, the additional experience employed
in mining, washing, and amalgamating, is now lead-
ing to a more enlarged development of this vast
resource of wealth.

The amount of gold obtained in 1863 far exceeds
that of the previous year.

Copper has been discovered in numerous places.

Iron Ore is abundant and of the best quality. Two
foundries have been established in Annapolis County;
and in Londonderry are situated the “ Acadian Iron
and Steel Company” works. These works produce
large quantities of iron of the best quality.

Coal.— The following tabular statement shows the
quantity of coal raised, sold, and exported from the
mines of Nova Scotia in 1862 :

PUBLIC WORKS, &C., NOVA SCOTIA

[1864. B. N. A.

The value of coal exported in 1862, was #624,904.
There were exported in 1862, from the quarries of
Nova Scotia, as follows: —

Total value of exports from the mines and quarries
#677,552. Though lime is not among the exports,
there were 136,848 bushels manufactured in 1861.

FISHERIES.

This important branch of industry gives employment
to a large amount' of tonnage; and supplies a large
item of domestic food, besides adding greatly to the
exports of the country, as will be seen by the follow-
ing tabular statement of the products of the sea and
rivers for 1850 and 1860

The value of the fish caught in 1860, was #2,376,721;
and the value of the products of the sea exported in
1862, was #2,335,104, exclusive of the value offish used
in the colony during the latter year.

PRODUCTS OP THE FOREST.

Of the proceeds of this branch of industry, there
were exported in 1862:—

Lumber to the value of. #440945

Laths 3842

Shingles 20359

Staves 45711

Spars, &c. 19277

Timber 14722

Firewood 70711

Total value #611725

This is exclusive of large amounts used for domestic
purposes, and shipbuilding.

The largest amount of tonnage built in the Province
in any year, was in 1854. It amounted in that year to
52,814 tons, value #2,546,595. Since that year the amount
of tonnage built has varied from twenty thousand to
forty thousand tons per annum.

CROWN LANDS.

In 1862 there were 320 grants issued, comprising
38,688 acres; and the proceeds of sales in that year
amounted to #15,104. The net revenue, after deducting
expenses, was #6,446.

According to the report of a Committee of the Legis-
lature, in 1863, there were 770,000 acres of ungranted
lands tit for profitable cultivation; of this quantity
620,000 were in Nova Scotia proper, and 150,000 acres
in Cape Breton.

The cultivab’e lands were distributed in the counties
as follows : —

The County of Annapolis 100,000 acres.

“ Colchester 25,000

“ Cumberland 75,000

“ Gnysborough 80,000

“ Hants &5,000

“ King's 55,000

“ Lunenburg 80,000

“ Pictou 37,000

“ Shelburne 20,000

Halifax 45,000

“ Queen's 8,000

“ Yarmouth 15,000

“ Sydney 6,000

“ Digby 40,000

The 150,000 acres in Cape Breton are in small blocks,
the largest from 1000 to 5000, and chieflv occupied by
squatters.

There is a large tract (35,000 acres) in the county of
Hants, about ten miles from the Railroad station at

Windsor, that might be opened up for settlement
without much cost, as roads now run to these valuable
lands.

EMIGRATION.

Emigration to Nova Scotia has been for the last tea
or fifteen years on a very limited scale. Indeed the
government of the country almost lost sight of the
subject for a long time. In 1863, the Legislature of the
Province passed an act “ to provide for the distribu-
tion and settlement of industrious immigrants."

The Government Immigration Office is now open
at 46, Bedford Row, Halifax, where the duties ac-
cording to the Act of last Session of the House of
Assembly will be attended to and carried on. Persons
wishing to engage mechanics or laborers can call and
enter their names and addresses. Immigrants arriv-
ing, or who have recently arrived, and requiring aid or
intormation from the Agent, can obtain the same, in
so far as lies in his power, by application at the office.

MANUFACTURES.

In addition to that included under the head of
“ Agricultural Products," above given,— the factories
and manufactures for 1861 w T cre as follows: —

Hand Looms 13,230

Bricks, No 7,659

Carriages 2,131

Leather, value #240,386

Malt liquor, galls 109,867

Mills, factories, &c., #1,741,584

In addition there were 47 block and pump makers,
12 brass founders, 147 cabinet makers, 4 boiler ma-
kers, 1,147 coopers, 15 chair makers, 3 soap end candle
factories, 3 axe factories, 6 gun smiths, 1 paper mill, 1
tobacco mill, 2 nail factories, 11 iron foundries, 3
cabinet factories, 8 shoe factories, 1 engine factory,
1 pottery, 1 pari factory, 414 grist mills, &c. The value
of these with other factories is estimated at #1,011,480.

There are in addition 1401 saw mills, 130 shingle
mills, 6 lath mills.

The total value of land, stock, vessels, mills, facto-
ries, &c., was #34,312,538. And of tho agricultural pro-
ducts, fish, forest products, minerals, &c., #13,626,1-31.

Tliis estimate is exclusive of stocks, &c., and real
estate.

PUBLIC WORKS-CANALS.

There are two Canals in Nova Scotia in course of
construction.

The one leading from Halifax to Cobequid Bay was
commenced in 1825. Owing to financial difficulties the
first Company failed to finish it. A new T Company
has recently been organized ; and the works are now
nearly completed.

The St. Peter’s Canal is a Government work. The
object of it is to connect St. Peter's Bay on the Atlantic
coast of Cape Breton Island with Bras d’Or Lake, dis-
tance 2,300 feet.

The Commissioners for the construction of this
Canal are William LeVesconte, Robert Kavanagh,
and Edwin Fiinn.

RAILWAYS.

There are two railways in the Province, one from
Halifax to Truro, 61 miles; the other, a branch to
Windsor, 32 miles; in all 93 miles. Total cost of con-
struction up to the end of 1862 was #4,273,282. The
Report of the special Commissioners in 1863 states
that it will require an expenditure of nearly #100,000
to place the railways of Nova Scotia in an efficient
state of repair.

The aggregate number of passengers that travelled
on the Railways of Nova Scotia in 1862 w as 104,524.

JUDICIAL — NOVA SCOTIA,

283

JUDICIAL.

The laws of Nova Scotia have recently been revised
and simplified.

The Supreme Court has powers similar to those exer-
cised by the Courts of Queen's Bench, Exchequer,
Common IMeas, and Chancery. It has jurisdiction as
low as twenty dollars, and is the court of appeal from
the decisions of Justices of the reace in civil suits.

Justices* Courts . — There are upwards of fourteen
hundred Justices of the Peace in the Province. In
civil suits the jurisdiction is as high as forty dollars.
These courts hold criminal examinations, and try nu-
merous small offences.

Courts of Sessions .— These courts are held in each
countv once a year, or oftener, and have power to try
larcenies up to forty dollars. Local officers are ap-
pointed at the sessions.

In each County there is a Court of Probate , which
has control of the property of deceased persons.

There is also a Court of Error, of Vice- Admiralty ,
and of Marriage and Divorce.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION.

Nova Scotia is in advance of many older countries
in the extent of telegraphic communication. Almost

every town and village is connected with the capital,
Halifax, by this speedy means of communication.
There are now nearly 1,200 miles in operation. The lines
in the Province are owned by the “ Nova Scotia Elec-
tric Telegraph Company." They have upwards of
fifty offices in the Province.

The cost of communicating messages is 12 cents for
ten w’ords, any distance under 80 miles, and over that
distance and not exceeding 160 miles, 24 cents.

The Telegraph Companies of the Lower Provinces,
except P. Edward Island, have leased their lines to
the American Telegraph Company, which is composed
of Shareholders resident in the Colonies and American
States. This Company has control of the continuous
line from Newfoundland to New Orleans.

CURRENCY.

This Province, in common with Canada and New
Brunswick, has accepted the decimal system of cur-
rency.

The sovereign passes for $5.00; the English shilling
for $0.25; Crown, $1.25. Fractional parts of these
coins pass at proportional rates. The value of United
States and several other coins is subject to frequent
change.

EDUCATION— NOVA SCOTIA.

The most important class of Educational Institutions
are the Common schools. These schools are supported
partly by Legislative grants, and partly by voluntary
contributions of the people. The average number of
schools in 1862 was 1.094; pupils, 36,067; and the Pro-
vincial aid was $47,888, and that by the people w r as
$129,999.

The Normal and Training school is situated at Truro,
a beautiful and healthy village — a railway station near
the centre of the Province. It was established in 1855,
and is supported principally by Provincial grants.

The next in importance are the Grammar schools
and Academies.

The colleges in 1862 numbered six, attended by an
&g|? rc g a t e of 375 students. The oldest institution ol
tins class is King’s, Windsor, which was founded in 1789.
It is Episcopalian, but open to ull classes.

Acadia college, at Wolfville, Baptist; St. Mary’s
college, Halifax, and St. Xavier’s college, Antigonish,
both Catholic, are literary institutions of a high order.
The curriculum of study in all these institutions em-
braces the several branches of natural and mental
philosophy, with the ancient and modern languages.

Dalhousie college w*as incorporated in 1820; but
through party strife and other untoward circumstances
it has not ranked among the useful institutions of the
Province. The funds belonging to it have hitherto
been locked up. In the latter part of 1863, however, it
wras re-organized under auspicious circumstances, and
a staff of six professors was appointed. The curri-
culum of study is comprehensive ; and it is believed
that this institution will now accomplish the end for
which it was established by the nobleman whose name
it bears, and become the University of Nova Scotia.

CITY OF HALIFAX.

This city, the capital of Nova Scotia, is situated
nearly in the centre of the Atlantic frontier of the
Province, in lat. 44° 39' 20" North, and long. 63° 36'
40" West— in time, 4 h. 14 m. 26 sec.

The city stands on the west side of Halifax Bay, the
Chebucto of the Indians. This deep and spacious bay
is open at all seasons of the year, and is capable of
holding in safety the naval and commercial marine of
England. The city of Halifax extends about two and
a half miles along the harbor, and about three quarters
of a mile up the side of a commanding hill, the sum-
mit of which is 260 feet above the level of the sea. It is
surrounded by the citadel, Fort George, which over-
looks the city, harbor, and surrounding country. This
fort is considered impregnable.

Halifax was founded by Lord Cornwallis in 1749;
declared a free port in 1817; and incorporated in 1841.
The streets are systematically laid out; and the citv is
lighted with gas. The southwestern part of the city,
Spring Gardens, is a most delightful district; and in
the rear of the city lies the “Common,” containing
250 acres of land, where military reviews and other
displays are held. The surrounding landscape is beau-
tiful. The harbor is land-locked, and protected at all
points by heavy cannon; near its mouth stands Mc-
Nab’s Island, which is three miles in length, half a
mile in width, and contains 1,090 acres. There is a
light on this island, to enable vessels to enter the har-
bor safely. On the eastern side of the harbor is Fort
Clarence. Opposite to the city stands George’s Island,
strongly fortified: and on Point Pleasant, south of the
city, there arc several batteries. Among the public es-
tablishments, the Queen’s Dockyard is the most im-
portant. Within its enclosure are vast work-houses
and other edilices, including the Admiral’s House.

The Province Building, situated near the centre of
the city, is built of freestone, 140 feet long, 70 broad,
and 42 in height; it contains the legislative cham-
bers and departmental offices. Dalhousie College,

recently re-organized ; Temperance Hall, the Mechan-
ics’ Institute, Court House, insurance Offices, Masons'
Hall, Lyceum, and Horticultural Gardens, arc attract-
ive objects. Many of the private edifices are elegant.

There are numerous societies, for purposes of instruc-
tion and amusement, which are well supported by
the citizens.

Halifax is the Atlantic terminus of the railway to
Truro and branch to Windsor. It is also the depot for
the surplus agricultural products of the Province. It
is an important military post, "There are usually sta-
tioned here two regiments of infantry, and companies
of artillery and engineers. It is also the naval station
for the North American and West Indian fleets. The
admiral resides at Halifax in summer, and in Bermuda
in winter.

The following statistical summary will show the pro-
gress of the city of Halifax :

Population in 1790 was 4,000 souls ; in 1827, 14,439 ;
in 1851, 19,949 ; and in 1861 it was 25,026.

Trade . — The principal part of the commerce is car-
ried on with the American States, and the North
American and West Indian Colonies. The principal
part of the exports consist of produce of the fisheries.

The value of imports in 1850 was 84,080,400

PICTOU.

This is the most important town on the northeastern
coast of Nova Scotia It is situated on the Straits of
Northumberland, and forms apart of the county of the
same name. It is the point of arrival and departure
of steamers between Nova Scotia, Prince Edward
Island, northern coast of New Brunswick, and Cana-
da; and a depot for the gu If trade. Two steamers,
during the summer, ply between Quebec and Pictou
via New Brunswick ; and one traverses the route twice
a week between Pictou and Shediac. The town of
lictou is lyell laid out, and is a progressive place It
contains numerous public buildings, and there are

CHEBUCTO MARINE RAILWAY.

This company has now three marine, railways, of the
most improved description, in complete working or-
der. One railway has two cradles, of 250 tons capacity
each, one of which may be worked while the other re-
mains stationary. The other cradles are resjiectively
of 700 and 1,500 tons capacity, and all are worked by
steam power, raising vessels’in a few minutes. Mate-
rials for repairing vessels are at hand.

Officers . — Robert Bauls, jr., president; John S. Wy-
lus secretary and treasurer; Robt. Bovel, Peter Ross,
c. A. McKenzie, directors.

HALIFAX AND MINAS NAVIGATION CO.

This company owns a canal, or inland water commu-
nication, extending from Halifax harbor to the basin
of Minas, nearly 50 miles in length, capable of passing-
boats 66 feet long by 16 feet wide, drawing four feet ot
water.

This canal, known as the “Shubenacadie Canal/*
was commenced thirty years ago, but was not com-
pleted until quite recently. It has cost the various
companies that have owned it $400,000 in all. The-
present company purchased it for about $45,000. It is
now in good working order, and from the increasing
traffic upon it, bids fair to become a paying concern.

NEW BRUNSWICK.

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION.

The province of New Brunswick was formerly united
to Nova SGotia, under the name of Acadia or New
France. The principal events in the early history of
the colony will be found under the head of Nova Sco-
tia. The first settlers were French emigrants under
De Monts. The country was ceded to the British in
1713 by the treaty of Utrecht. In 1764, a year after the
possession of the colony had been finally confirmed to
Britain, the first permanent settlements by British
colonists were established. When the United States
had gained their independence, a considerable number
of the loyalists emigrated to New Brunswick, and
their descendants now form a part of the population.

In 1784 the present limits of New Brunswick were
divided from Nova Scotia and erected into a separate
province by a special constitutional charter, the ad-
ministration of which was confided to colonel Carleton.
In the autumn of 1785 the first general elec tion of re-
presentatives took place ; and in January 1784, the first
legislative assembly was held at St. John. Soon after
his appointment the city of Fredericton was selected by
governor Carleton as the scat of government, and has
since remained the metropolis. The place at that time
was composed of a few irregularly built huts; and St.
John, now an opulent and flourishing city, was not of
much greater extent.

In 1803, governor Carleton was removed to England,
after having governed the province for nearly twenty
years, during which period it had rapidly increased in
population and importance.

The northern counties remained uninhabited till the
middle of the eighteenth century. Only a century ago,
in the summer of 1764, the first British settler, Mr. Wm.
Davidson, a gentleman from the north of Scotland,
arrived in the county of Northumberland. At this
time not a single house was erected, nor a single Euro-
pean resident within the limits of the county. The
Micmac Indians were still the virtual lords of the
soil. In 1825, a remarkable conflagration occurred,
which resulted in the loss of many lives, and great
destruction of property. The summer of this year had
been unusually warm and dry, and extensive fires had
raged in different parts of Nova Scotia. Throughout
the northern part of New Brunswick hardly any rain
had fallen, and from the 1st to the 5th October, the heat
was extraordinary. The fire, which had been creeping
through the forests, approached some of the settlements,
and the heat became intense. About 9 o’clock on the
night of the 7th October, the fire burst through the

forestin the rear of Newcastle, and that town, together
with Douglastown, and the northern side of the Mira-
michi, for a hundred miles, were enveloped in smoke
and flame. The wooden houses, the stores containing
spirits, powder, and other combustible articles, the
stables and barns of the towns and settlements, became
a speedy prey to the devouring fire, and produced a
terrible scene of confusion and devastation. Newcastle,
a flourishing town of 1000 inhabitants, was left a heap
of smoking ruins, and hundreds of miles of country
were laid waste. In this conflagration 160 persons
were burned, or drowned in the river, 595 build-
ings, and 875 head of cattle were destroyed. The
loss of property was estimated at £204,323, of wdiich
only £12,050 was covered by insurance. The legisla-
ture of Lower Canada voted £2,500 for the relief of the
sufferers, and contributions to the extent of £35.383
were received from Great Britain, the United States,
and the neighbouring colonies. The burnt towns and
villages were soon rebuilt in a style of greater solidity
and magnificence. The trade of the colony continued
to progress rapidly, being considerably promoted by
the reciprocity treaty between British America and
the United States. The number of ships built in the
province in 1854 was 135; tonnage 99,426. In 1855, 866
vessels belonged to the port of St. John. In 1851, there
were 845 saw and grist mills in the province; 125 tan-
neries, 11 foundries, 52 weaving and carding establish-
ments, and 94 other factories. A university was founded
at Fredericton in 1828.

GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION AND GENE-
RAL OBSERVATIONS.

This province is situated between 45° and 48° 7 r N.
lat. ; and between 63° 50' and 69° W. long. Its length,
from Nova Scotia, on the southeast, to Canada East,
on the northwest, is 190 miles; breadth, from the
State of Maine, on the southwest, to the Straits of
Northumberland on the northeast, 140 miles. It is
situated nearly in the centre of the north temperate
zone. The area of the Province is 27,710 square miles
or 17,600,000 acres. The surface of the country is
generally flat or undulating. There are some hills
skirting the Bay of Fundy and the Rivers St. John
and Restigouche, but they nowhere assume mountain
summits. New Brunswick has an external w r ater-line
of 410 miles, exclusive of indentations. This coast-
line is indented by deep and spacious bays and harbors ;
and the face of the province is traversed in all direc-
tions by navigable rivers. The Bay of Fundy, with

its affluents, Chignecto and Cumberland bays, is 140
miles in length, by 45, its greatest breadth; and the
Bay of Chaleurs, in the northwest, is 8 miles long by
20 broad. The principal rivers are the St. Croix, 60
miles in length; St. John, 450, Petitcadiac, 100; Richi-
bucto, 40 ; Miramichi, 200 ; Nipisignit, 90 ; and the Resti-
gouche, 200 miles long. There are numerous lakes,
varying in size from mere ponds to lakes containing 80
square miles. Of the area of the Province, about
14,000,000 acres are fit for profitable cultivation. There
are about 10,000,000 acres still ungranted. These lands
are accessible from all sides of the country. Of the
granted lands, about 60,000 acres consist of rich allu-
vial lands, called marsh; some of which have been
producing large crops of excellent hay for upwards of
one hundred years.

The tides of the Bay of Fundy rise from 20 feet at
the city of St. John, to 60 feet at the head of Chignecto
Bay; while the tides of the gulf of St. Lawrence,

separated only twelve miles from those of the Bay of
Fundy, rise from four to seven feet.

The Bay of Fundy is navigable for ten months in the
year; while the gulf of St. Lawrence is navigable only
about seven months.

Roads and settlements are nearly continuous around
the province, and across it in numerous places. There
are two railroads in operation ; one from the city of St.
John to Shediac, 108 miles; the other from St. An-
drew’s to Woodstock, 100 miles. New Brunswick is
divided into fourteen counties ; and these are subdi-
vided into parishes ; numbering in the aggregate 117
parishes. Of the counties, Charlotte, St. John, and
Albert, lie on the Bay of Fundy. The River St. John
in its downward course traverses Victoria, Carleton,
York, Sunbury, Queen’s, King's, and St. John. The
counties of Westmoreland, Kent, Northumberland,
Gloucester, and Restigouche, bound on the Straits of
Northumberland, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Bay of
Chaleurs.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.

The principal part of the revenue of New Brunswick,
arising from imports and exports, is collected at the
cities of St.John and Fredericton, and at the towns
of St. Andrews, St. Stephen, St. George, Moncton,
Shediac, Richibucto, Newcastle, Chatham, Bathurst,
and Dalhousie.

The revenue of New Brunswick, when constituted a
Province in 1784, was only $2,968; in 1789, $3,848; in
1803, $14,824; in 1814, $103,512. These sums are ex-
clusive of certain fees collected by the Imperial Gov-
ernment. In 1834 the revenue amounted to $385,500.

The principal part of the revenue collected is re-
turned directly to the people in the shape of grants for
education, roads, and for various other public objects.

The public debt of the Province in 1862 was $4,714,-
608, principally incurred in the construction of rail-
roads.

The effects of the Elgin treaty, with respect to the
trade of the Province, may be estimated from the fact
that in 1855, the year following the treaty, the exports
to the United States, amounted to $615,635, while in
1860 they amounted to $1,241,900, having doubled in five
years.

The exports were derived from the forests, mines,
and fisheries.

New Brunswick imported goods in 1862 to the value
of $26 for each inhabitant of the Province, assuming
the population to be 252.047, as in 1861; and the
amount of import revenue received for 1862, would be
equal to $2 45 per head for each inhabitant.

The total value of goods imported iuto New Bruns-
wick in 1862, was £1,291,604 sterling; and exports,
£803.445 sterling.

This Province imported 232,237 brls. of wheat flour,
which, along with other agricultural products import-
ed, amounted in value to $1,906,323; principally from
the United States, a small part only from Canada.

The trade of this Province in 1862, with the other
British North American Provinces, was with

During the last 38 years this colony has built 3,869
vessels, measuring 1,406,531 tons.

The large increase in population and general pros-
perity, during the last decade, is, in a great measure,
due to this department, and the shipbuilding resources
of the country still remain apparently undiminished.

By the act establishing the university, each county
m the province holds a scholarship, tenable by one stu-
dent for two years, value $60, with gratuitous tuition,
making it worth $76 per annum to the holder, a sum
equivalent to half the necessary expenses of a year’s at-
tendance. In addition to the county scholarships there
are six other scholarships, each of the value of $60 per
annum, tenable for one year. Schoolmasters, engaged
m teaching, and desirous of continuing in the proles-
sion, are admited free of all charge for tuition, to such
classes in the University as they may wish to attend.
The two academies, male and female, at Sackville are
pleasantly situated, and afford high collegiate advan-
tages. These acadamies are under the control of the
Mctl»dists iu the Bower Provinces. The govern-
ments of New Scotia and New Brunswick pay annually
towards their support $1,000 and $2,400 respectively.
This body has recently erected a Theological College
in the same vicinity.

The Roman Catholics have ten educational institu-
tions in the province under their control, some of which
impart instruction in all the higher branches of know-
ledge, including the languages. They receive annually
in the aggregate $3590 trom the provincial revenue, in
addition to common school allowance.

The Presbyterians have an academy at Woodstock •
and the Baptists one at Fredericton. Both these insti-
tutions afford instruction in the several branches of
mental and natural philosophy, as well as the ancient
and modern languages.

. T J. 10 grammar and superior schools are intermediate
institutions between the elementary schools and the
University. The most important class however are the
common or elementary schools. These schools have
increased from 680, attended by 18,386 pupils, in 1851
to 812 schools, in 1862, attended by 29.000 scholars. ’

The educational system is regulated by a board of
education, composed of the Governor and Council
and a chief superintendent.

There are four school inspectors, who examine the
schools twice a year; and a training and model school
through which a large portion of the teachers have
passed.

WOODS AND FORESTS.

After agriculture, the forests of New Brunswick con-
stitute, at present, its next great resource.

The following enumeration comprises the principal
varieties of the forest woods of this Province.

Order — Acerinos. — White, black, and soft sugar ma-
ple; red maple; striped maple; mosswood, and moun-
tain maple.

Betulacece . — Of this family there are black, white,
yellow, and poplar-leaved birch; alder, and horn-
beam.

Cupuliferce .— Red and gray oak; white and red
beech, and hazel.

Oleacece .— This family consists of white, black, and
swamp ash.

Ulmacece .— White and red elm.

Juglanclacece . — The butternut tree is the only speci-
men of this family in the Province.

Saliacece . — Of this family there are the aspen, white-
leaved, necklace, and tree poplar; and the black,
swamp, and rose willow.

Amvgdalece .— These are the wild plum; red, black,
and choke cherry.

Jlosacece .— Red thorn, raspberry, and red rose.

Caprifoliacece . — Of this family the moss bush, tree
cranberry, dogwood, and red berried elder, are the
principal.

view, is the most important of the family of woods in
the Lower Provinces. It consists of white and pitch
pine; white, red, and black spruce; hemlock, liackma-
tac ; balsam, fir, and white cedar.

The value of the forest woods of the Province can
hardly be estimated. Besides supplying the domestic
wants of the country, large quantities are exported in
the shape of pine, spruce, and hardwood timber;
spruce and pine deals, lumber ; liackmatac and other
timber for shipbuilding. The Province annually builds
about 60,000 tons of shipping.

FISHERIES.

The number of herring, cod, mackerel, shad, ale-
wives, and other fish, which annually approach the
shores of New Brunswick for purposes connected with
the reproduction of their species, is inexhaustible
1 he families most useful in commerce are the follow-
ing:

Gadidas— The common cod, tomcod, haddock, hake
and pellock. Of this family the cod is the most import
ant; it appears in the Gulf of St. Lawrence about the
end of May, when it is taken in large quantities.

Clupeadje.— Herring family .—Herring , shad, and
aletmves or gaspereaux.— The herring is very abundant
in all the harbors along the Straits of Northumberland •
The gaspereaux ascend some of the rivers of this coast
in large numbers; they also ascend the rivers on the
Bay of Fundy. The shad are numerous in this bay.

Salmonid^e.— Sainton, trout {two species,) smelt
caplin, and white fish. — Of this family, the salmon is
the most important. It arrives in the rivers in June or
July, where it remains about three quarters of the year
The white fish is a vegetarian; and inhabits the lakes
at the head of the river St. John in small quantities
I rout inhabit nearly all the lakes and rivers of New
Brunswick. This fishery affords excellent sport.

Percidae.— Perch, bass, and pond fish belong to this
family. Bass are caught in winter and summer in
the rivers of the straits.

Scomberoide.e.— The mackerel family embraces the
spring and fall mackerel, the common tunny and
sword fish.— Of these, the mackerel is the most valu-
able. Mackerel arrive on the coast about the first of
June; after spawning they return to deep water, and
again arrive on the coast in August, where they
remain until the last of October; then leave for deet>
water. r

Mammalia.— The seal is a carnivorous and amphi-
bious animal. The varieties common to the coasts of
the Lower Provinces, are the hooded, harbor, and
J\ ar P seal. Harbor seals appear to live apart from
the others, and remain in the same place at all seasons
of the year; while the others herd together, and are
migratory.

Cetacea. — There are several varieties of the whale
They seldom visit the coasts of the Lower Provinces,
Newfoundland excepted.

GEOLOGY.

In the absence of a thorough Geological Survey of
thlS Ji^ v,nc u’ it8 formations and mineral

capabilities, the following brief description may suffice ;

The Carboniferous, or Grey Sandstone Dis-
trict, covers oyer one-third of the area of the pro-
vince; the counties of Westmorland, Kent, North urn-
benand, and large portions of Gloucester, York, Sun-
hury, Queens and Albert are within this district. The
commercial value of the New Brunswick coal field is
but partiaHy known as yet; the principal deposit is
that of the Albertite, of Albert coun tv, which is a very
abundant and highly bituminous species of coal, of
great value in the manufacture of gas and oil, and in
other commercial relations.

oro d limestonc , gypsum, grindstone,
brick and pottery clays, oxide of manganese, with
many other less useful minerals.

Upper Silurian System.— This system includes-
northern region of the province; the counties
of Restigouche, .Victoria, and parts of Carleton and
Northumberland— forming nearly one-third the area
of the province .

Minerals. Granite, trap, gypsum, limestone, and
iron ore.

Lower Silurian System . — The rocks of this sys-
tem are of a slaty nature, and form a narrow ridge
beginning in Albert, and running along the bay of
Fundy coast of the counties of Saint John and Char-

Minerals — Limestone, copper, antimony and plum-
bago : the latter is found in great abundance near
the city of St. John.

The Cambrian, or Clay Slate Rocks, form
two bauds both beginning near Bathurst harbor in
the bay of Chaleurs, and running south-westerly to
the state of Maine ; the most southerly belt doubles
round the western extremity of the coal field. It is a
question among geologists whether this formation can
be separated from the Silurian system.

Minerals.— Limestone and iron ore; the latter is
very abundant and of excellent quality at Woodstock
where smelting is carried on.

Red Sand Stones.— The tract covered by these
rocks is very limited,— principally confined to the
counties of Westmorland, Albert, Kings and Carleton
along with a narrow belt beginning at the bay of Cha-
leurs and doubling round the westerly and southerlyfex-
tremity of the coal field, betweeu this field and the
southerly belt or ridge of the Cambrian system.
Minerals.— Gypsum and coal.

The Grange Region is principally confined to a
band beginning at Bathurst harbor, running south-
westerly to the boundary of Maine. It lies between
the two belts of the Cambrian system. This regioa
consists of gneiss and mica stone.

Trap.— The country over which this division runs
is not very extensive in any one place; yet there are-
beds of it interspersed throughout the other formations,
except the grey sandstone, or coal formation. The-
trap rock of this province is principally confined to
the counties of Ivinas, Saint John and Albert.

The principal minerals of commerce as vet dis-
covered in the province, are coal, iron ore, limestone
hydraulic limestone, marble, graphite or plumbago'

ores, galena, or lead ore, grindstones, freestone,
amethyst, agate, jasper, gypsum, potters' clay and salt
springs.

The Albertite of Albert County is the most valuable
deposit of bituminous matter on this continent. It
produces 100 gallons of crude oil per ton. The annual
value of the exports from this mine amounts to about
$300,000 ; affording upwards of 100 per cent, profit to
the stockholders.

The products of the mines of New Brunswick wero
as follows: 1851. 1861.

Coal tons 2,842 18,244

Gypsum “ 5,465 14,000

Zinc casks 35,599 42,965

Other minerals tons 408

The produce of the mines exported in 1860 was
valued at $323,135; in 1862 it was $220,183.

ACCLIMATISATION.

This subject is now engaging the attention of natur-
alists in different parts of the world. The Acclimatisation
Society of England has recently applied, through His
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, to the governors of the
British North American colonies for answers to a series
of inquiries relating to this subject.

The lloyal Gazette of New Brunswick, of a recent
date, says “Any gentleman able or desirous to furnish
replies to any of the annexed questions, is requested to
communicate with Captain H. Moody, Government
House.

The main purposes of Acclimatisation are to intro-
duce, acclimatise, and propagate, in the United King-
dom and in its dependencies, such animals, birds, fishes,
insects, and vegetables, as are likely to be of use or
ornament, whether for domestication or for varying
the common food of the people, or lor manufacturing,
or for any other useful purpose, and whose constitution
and habits offer a reasonable prospect of successful
cultivation.

Questims.— 1. Is there any quadruped, indigenous
or introduced to the country in which you reside, which
(having regard to the above definition of the objects in
view, ) merits attention with a view to acclimatisation in
Great Britain or any of its Dependencies? If there be
any such, state whether it is attainable* at a reason-
able rate ; and whether it is likely to bear the risk of
transport. 2. Is there any such bird? 3. Is there any
such fish? 4. Is there any such insect? 5. Is there
any such timber tree? 6. Is there any such medicinal
plant? 7. Is there any fibrous plant, likely to be useful
for manufacturing purposes ? 8. Is there any vegetable
suitable for the food of man or for forage, or for any
other useful purpose? 9. Is there any quadruped,
bird, fish, insect, tree, or plant, existing elsewhere,
the introduction of which to the country in which you
reside would be likely to be beneficial? One of the
objects of the Acclimatisation Society being to recipro-
cate the benefits which it receives from other countries.
10. Does any organization exist, or could it be easily
called into existence, capable of undertaking the task
of introduction? Any remarks founded upon special
knowledge or local information, capable of being made
useful to the progress of Acclimatisation, will be desir-
able."

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT— NEW BRUNSWICK.

The mail conveyances through New Brunswick
Tange from weekly, bi-weekly, tri-weekly, to daily
< Sundays excepted). Almost every village has its post
office.

The mails are conveyed six times per week between
the cities of St. John and Fredericton, 65 miles; be-
tween the latter city and Woodstock, 62 miles ; between
St. John and Halifax, via Sackville and Amherst, 257
miles; between St. John and the States, 75 miles; be-
tween St. John and Shediac, by railway. 107 miles; and
Uetwoen St. John and Newcastle, Miramichi, 114
miles. There are several other shorter lines on which
mails are conveyed six times a week.

Mails are conveyed three times per week from Wood-
stock to Grand Falls, 73 miles, and from there to Ca-
nadian line; and from Newcastle to Campbellton,
where it connects with the Canadian boundary, 191
miles; also on several other roads. On the principal
part of the other roads mails travel twice per week.

The efficiency of this department may be estimated
from the following comparative statistics :

1852. 1861. 1862.

No. of offices 135 364 379

Total No. of miles travelled. 2,160 2,824 2,807

No. miles per annum 474,471 817,612 712,286

Revenue $39,393 $46,971 $46,582

Expenditure 58,416 71,501 69,854

No. letters posted 1,109,202 1,134,224

No. newspapers 4,262,961 3,634,618

The foregoing statistics show an increase of 244 way
offices, and 647 miles of additional mail route, within
the last decade.

first mentioned is chargeable. It must also be under-
stood, that the rates given in the above table for places
to which the route is through the United Kingdom, are
rates, “ via Halifax," or “Canadian Packet," by which
routes all such correspondence will be sent, if not spe-
cially addressed “via United States," or “via New
York," in which case an additional rate of 2d. sterling,
or four cents currency, is to be added to the amount

MILITIA— NEW BRUNSWICK.

The Militia Laws of this Province have been in abey-
ance since 1850, until last year, when the laws were re-
vised, and an attempt made to revive militia opera-
tions throughout the Province. The sum of $10,000
was granted in aid; oi this sum $5,487 were expended.

Of the number of persons, 31,000, estimated as capa-
ble of doing militia duty, 24,311 have been enrolled.

MEANS OF CONVEYANCE.

New Brunswick is connected with Canada by two
mail routes. One by the straits of Northumberland
and Bay of Chaleurs; the other by the River St. John.
By the former it is 440 miles from the Nova Scotia
boundary, near Amherst, to Riviere du Loup in Ca-
nada; by the latter it is 400 miles from the city of
St. John to Riviere du Loup. During the summer a
weekly steamer plies between Miediac and Quebec,
calling at Richfbucto, Miramichi, and other inter-
mediate ports. A railway train runs daily from
Shediac to St. John; and also a daily coach by land
between these two places. During summer the steamer
from Quebec to Shediac runs to Charlottetown, Prince
E. Island, and to Pictou, Nova Scotia. In the winter
season mails and passengers are conveyed from Cape
Tormentine, in N. Brunswick, to Prince Ed. Island, nine
miles, in ice boats, three times a week. The postal
conveyances on the leading roads in the Province of
New Brunswick are stated in the article on the Post
Office Department.

TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.

The principal towns and settlements of this Province
are connected by telegraph. The city of St. John is
connected with Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince
Edward Island, and the towns and villages on the
easterly side of New Brunswick, as far north as Mira-
michi; and westerly with Fredericton, Woodstock,
St. Andrew's, St. Stephens, and the towns in the
States. In all, 500 miles of line within the Province.
The lines are under the control of several Companies.
The American Telegraph Company controls the lines
from Newfoundland to New Orleans Head office,
145 Broadway, New' York. E. S. Sanford, president;
C. Livingston, secretary.

RAILWAYS.

There are two lines of railway in New Brunswick;
one from the city of St. John to Shediac; the other
from St. Andrew's to Woodstock.

The line from St. John to Shediac is 108 miles in
length, and has cost, including equipment, $4,569,417,
equal to $42,309, or f 8,814 sterling per mile.

The revenue in 1862, derived from passengers, freight,
mails and sundries, amounted to $107,640; and the
expenditure during the same time was $87,634, leaving
a net revenue of $20,005.

Number of passengers conveyed was 132,094 ; and the
number conveyed one mile was 2,753,001. Tons of
freight carried, 32.788. Tons carried one mile 1,337,873.

The principal officers are Robert Jardine, chief com-
missioner, and J. Edward Boyd, resident engineer.

In the summer season two trains pass daily each
way between St. John and Shediac.

From Moncton, 93 miles from St. John, travellers are
conveyed daily, by four-horse coaches, 100 miles to
Truro, and thence, 64 miles by raiwlay to Halifax,
Nova Scotia.

The European and North American Railway was
constructed, and is owmed by the Province, and pre-
sents great facilities for travelling to residents and
emigrants, and to all others w'hose business may call
them to the Northern portions of the Province, to
Canada, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
It is at present under the management of a Board of
Commissioners, consisting of Robert Jardine, chair-
man, George Thomas ana R. C. Scovill ; J. E. Boyd,
C.E., resident engineer; L. Carvill, general superin-
tendent; S. Parker Tuck, C.E,, assistant engineer.

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT — P. E. ISLAND. [1864. B. N. A.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION.

This small but flourishing colony received its present
name in 1798, in honor of Edward, Duke of Kent, father
of Queen Victoria. Its ancient name was Isle de St.
Jean, or St John's Island. It was discovered by Se-
bastian Cabot in 1499, but very little attention was paid
to it till after the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. At this
time Cape Breton and St. John’s Isle were the only
American possessions left to France, exclusive of
Canada; and in 1719 a company was formed for the
purpose of clearing the interior and establishing fish
eries on the coast. But in consequence of misunder-
standings between the partners, the project fell to the
ground. In 1749 a number of Acadians settled in
the island. The British obtained possession of it at
the time of the capture of Louisburg in 1758, and the
acquisition was confirmed to them by the treaty of 1763,
and united to Nova Scotia. When the island became
subject to Britain the population numbered only 4,100.
In 1764, the British Government ordered a survey of
the island, and this left no doubt as to the superior
fitness of the land for agricultural purposes. The
island was then divided into 67 townships or lots.
These townships, or parts of them, with certain reserva-
tions, were to be granted to parties having claims
upon the government, upon certain conditions of settle-
ment, and the payment of quit rents. Lot 66, about
6,000 acres, was reserved for the Crown. Upwards of
100 persons participated in these grants. A town lot
and royalty were reserved in each county ; while each
township was to furnish a glebe lot of 100 acres for a
clergyman, and a lot of 30 acres for a school-master.
The grantees were to settle on each lot a settler for
every 200 acres, within 10 years from the date of the
grant.

In 1770, the island was divided from the pro-
vince of Nova Scotia, and a separate government
established. The first Governor was Walter Patter-
son. In 1798, when the island received its present
name, the population did not exceed 5,000. In 1833,
the population numbered 32,292, and the number of
acres occupied and improved amounted to 94,931. At
the beginning of the present century the arrears of
quit rent amounted to £59,162 stg. A liberal arrange-
ment which tended to increase the prosperity of the
island, was made by the government for the payment
of these arrears. Since that time the Colony has made
rapid progress in wealth and population.

GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL
OBSERVATIONS.

In form, the island resembles a crescent, the con-
cave side being towards the Gulf. Length, 130 miles,
breadth about 34 miles, area 2,131 square miles, orl,
365,400 acres. The surface is slightly undulating, the
chain of hills that extends across the country nowhere
rising to a considerable height. The indentations along
the coast are numerous. The principal harbors are
Charlottetown, Georgetown, Bedeque, Cascumpec,
Porthill, New London, and Murray harbors. There
are also numerous ponds or lagoons. The climate is
mild and healthful, and the soil remarkably fertile.
The whole island was formerly covered with a magnifi-
cent growth of forest trees; birch, beech, maple, elm,
ash, pine, spruce, hemlock, fir, juniper, cedar, willow,
and poplar were the chief varieties. Ship-building is
still carried on to a considerable extent.

In 1859, the revenue amounted to £41,106 3s. lid.,
P.E.I. currency. The expenditure in 1859, was £44,707
13s. ljd. In i860, the revenue was £43,113 13s. 6d.,
and the expenditure £61,794 12s. 9d. The excess of
the expenditure over revenue, was occasioned by the

purchase of the large estates of the Earl of Selkirk.
The public debt of the island, on the 31st January, 1861,
was $155,324. To meet this debt, there are 4,190 acres

AGRICULTURE— PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

The soil of Prince Edward Island is noted for its fer-
tility, and agriculture has been prosecuted with great
success. The peat bogs afford excellent material for
manure, and the arms of the sea, creeks, and inlets,
which almost everywhere indent the land, have depo-
sited vast stores of sea manure. Even the swamps,
when drained and lined, make good hay land. When
in possession of the French, large quantities of grain
were .taken from the island to the fortresses at Louis-
burg and Quebec. Some farmers annually exported
1,200 bushels of grain. Wheat, oats, barley, and rye,
of excellent quality, are raised. Potatoes, beans, peas,

EMIGRATION— P. E. ISLAND.

In 1853, 62 emigrants arrived. In 1855, 54 persons.
In 1857, 46 persons. In 1858, 400 persons. In 1862, 27
persons. During the last decade, the total number of
emigrants was 718.

Emigration from the mother country was formerly
discouraged lest England should be depopulated, and
it was required that settlers should be Protestants from
parts of Europe not belonging to Great Britain, or
persons that had resided in America for two years prior
to the date of the grant. But these conditions being
subsequently cancelled, a serious drawback to the pros-
perity of the Island was removed. In 1803, the Earl of
Selkirk settled upon his lands about 800 Highlanders,

who soon became prosperous farmers. In subsequent
years, emigrants from England, Ireland and Scotland
continued to arrive, so that in the year 1832 the popu-
lation had increased to 32,292.

The following statement shows the population at the
dates specified :

The largest part of the emigrants have been Scotch,

EDUCATION— P. E. ISLAND.

The first public step towards the promotion of na-
tional education was the opening of the National
School in Charlottetown about 1821. A board of edu-
cation, consisting of 5 members, was appointed in 1830.
The central academy at Charlottetown was opened in
January, 1836. In 1837, Mr. John McNeill was appointed
visitor of schools for the whole Island. The number of
schools at this period was 37; scholars 1,649. In 1847,
the schools numbered 120, and the pupils 6,000. In
1851, schools 135, scholars 5,360. In 1856, schools 260,
scholars 11,000. Towards the close of 1856, a normal
school for the training of teachers was opened. In
1850, a law was passed, after considerable agitation,
that the Bible should be read in all the public schools.
The census of 1861 gives 302 public school houses, and
280 public teachers.

NEWFOUNDLAND.

[1864. B. N, A.

NEWFOUNDLAND.

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION.

The island of Newfoundland was discovered in 1497,
by Sir John Cabot and his son Sebastian, under the
patronage of Henry VII. of England. Three years
after Cabot’s voyage, the coast of Newfoundland was
visited by a Portuguese explorer named Cortereal. But
before this time, Bretons and Normans had already
fished for cod on the Great Bank of Newfoundland.
One French author has affirmed that the banks of New-
foundland were discovered by French navigators a
century before Columbus reached the New World. At
the time Cabot visited the place, the native Newfound-
landers called a fish found there, bacalleos, which is the
name of the cod in the Basque idiom. The Portuguese
established regular fisheries on the shores in the begin-
ning of the 16th century ; and from the year 1517, the
whale and cod fisheries became prosperous branches
of the industry of France.

Cartier reached the coast of Newfoundland in the
spring of 1534, on his road to Canada. During the
next half century, the Normans, the Basques, and the
Bretons continued to fish for the cod, and capture the
whales which frequented the embouchure of the St.
Lawrence and neighboring waters. In 1578, the
French vessels that repaired to Newfoundland num-
bered 150, and England and Portugal had each 50 ships
engaged in the fishery.

During the reign of Elizabeth, Sir Humphrey Gilbert
is said to have equipped a small squadron with which
he sailed from England in 1579; but the loss of one of
his vessels and other disasters obliged him to return
home.

Gilbert, and his step-brother, Raleigh, subsequently
fitted out new vessels with which they returned to New-
foundland in 1583. But after entering the harbor of St.
John’s, taking possession of the country in the Queen’s
name, and establishing la-ws regulating the fisheries,
they set sail for England without having effected
anything towards the exploration of the interior. Dur-
ing the return voyage, Sir Humphey Gilbert’s vessel
foundered, and he perished in the wreck. Among the
subsequent attempts to colonize the island may be men-
tioned that of a Bristol merchant named Guy, who, in
1610, founded a colony at Musquito Cove in
Conception Bay, which lasted tw'o years. In
1615, Capt. Whitbourne, of Devon, was sent out
by the Admiralty to put down the great abuses
which at this time existed at the fisheries. He endeav-
ored to establish order, and introduced some of the
forms of English law. Seven or eight years after, a
settlement was formed by Lord Baltimore, who built a
house at Ferryland, on the southeast, and a strong
fort at Isle-aux-Bois. In 1626, 150 vessels were sent out
to the cod fisheries from Devonshire alone. In 1633
another settlement was formed by Lord Falkland. A
code of regulations was the same year established by
Charles I., and in 1635 the French received permission
to cure and dry fish in Newfoundland, on condition
that they should pay 5 per cent, of the produce for the
privilege. Another settlement was founded in 1654 by
Sir David Kertk.

The French had hitherto restricted their attention to
the fisheries; but in 1660 they founded a colony in

Plaisance, then the chief French factory in Newfound-
land. This place was within a few years captured and
plundered by buccaneers. In 1692 it was attacked and
partially destroyed by an English squadron of five
ships of war, under Admiral Williams. The French
now formed thfe design to make themselves masters of
the island, and thus deprive the British of their highly
valuable Newfoundland trade. During the next 20
years the ports were frequently the scene of contention
between the rival nations. St. John being forced to
capitulate, the fortifications were demolished. At
length, by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, it was pro-
vided that Newfoundland', as well as Acadia and the
Hudson Bay territory, should be ceded to Britain, the
right to dry fish on a part of the sea-board being
reserved to the French fishermen.

In 1762, St. John’s again fell into the hands of the
French, but the English under Lord Colville soon after
expelled them, and by the treaty of Paris in the follow-
ing year, the French merely retained the right to fish
in the gulf of the St. Lawrence, three leagues from its
shores; the rocky islets St. Pierre and Miquelon
being also assigned to them on condition that they
should not be used for military purposes.

From 1759 to 1767 Capt. Cook was employed by the
English government in making surveys of the coast,
upon which the present maps are founded. At the
beginning of the American revolution, Newfoundland
suffered greatly from the non-intercourse act passed
by the first congress. The inhabitants had been de-
pendent on New England for supplies to the extent of
nearly £350,000 annually. These were suddenly cutoff,
American privateers at the same time preying on the
coast and harbors. When peace was restored in 1783,
the Americans retained the right of fishing, but the
processes of curing and drying the fish had to be carried
on in the unsettled creeks and harbors of Nova Scotia,
Magdalen islands, and Labrador.

The present form of government, similar to that of
the other B. N. A. Provinces, was established in
1855. The governor acts with the assistance and advice
of the executive council. There is a legislative council,
the members of which are appointed by the crown,
and a general assembly elected by the people. In 1786,
the population was only 10,244. In 1854, a charter was
granted by the colonial government to the “ New
York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Com-
pany,” for the purpose of establishing a telegraphic
communication betweenEurope andAmerica. The land
wires were subsequently completed between St. John’s
and the cable terminus at Cape Ray, and the “Atlantic
Telegraph Company ” was established! n 1856 to ex-
tend the existing line to Ireland. This great enter-
prise was unfortunately unsuccessful ; but we are happy
to observe that the attempt is to be renewed in the
summer of 1864, with every prospect of success.

GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE AND GENERAL
OBSERVATIONS.

The Island of Newfoundland is situated on the north-
east side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence between 46° 37'
and 51° 40' N. latitude, and 52° 41' and 59° 31' W. longi-
tude. It is triangular in form, but exceedingly irregu-

lar owing to its being indented with deep bays, the
principal of which are Trinity and White Bays on the
eastern, and Placentia and Fortune Bays on the south-
ern coast. The peninsula of Avalon, on which the
greater part of the population is located, is nearly
separated from the rest of the island by the bays of
Trinity and Placentia, there being only an isthmus
about 4 miles in width between the heads of those bays.
The greatest length of the island from north to south
is 350 miles, and the average breadth about 130 miles ;
estimated area, about 40,200 square miles, equal to
25,728,000 acres, of which about 60,000 acres are
under cultivation, and about 170,000 are in pos-
session, but uncultivated. Population in 1857, 119,304.

Colonization was for many years discouraged, but in
1832, legislative aid was granted to it. The govern-
ment includes the island and dependencies, and the
coast of Labrador, extending nearly 700 miles from
Anse Sablon to the entrance of Hudson’s Straits.

The commercial prosperity of the colony has steadily
increased during the present century. The principal
export is codfish, the chief markets for which are
Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and the West India islands.
The exports in 1862 were valued at £1,171,723, and the
imports at £1,007,082. The number of vessels entered
was 1,345; tonnage 160,075; men 9,350. Number of
vessels cleared 1,159 ; tonnage 147,237 ; men 8,613.

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.

The government of the island wfts in the hands of
Governors appointed from England, and residing only
during the fishing season, down to 1817. In 1825 Capt.
Sir Thomas Cochrane, who may be considered the first
civil Governor, was appointed, and an executive
council was appointed to advise him in the govern-
ment. His term of government extended to 8 years,
and prior to its close, in 1832, a constitution, with a
local legislature, was granted to the colony, the first
session being opened on the 1st January 1833. The
House of Assembly consisted of 15, and the Council,
which was executive and legislative, of 6 members,
being, with one exception, officials. During the term
of the first House of Assembly legislation ^proceeded
with tolerable harmony ; but the second House came
to a dead lock with the Council and Governor, and in
1842 an act was passed by the Imperial Parliament to
amend the legislative constitution of Newfoundland,
by providing for the appointment of 10 legislative
councillors, to sit in the House of Assembly, the Exe-
cutive Council ceasing to constitute a second legisla-
tive chamber. This system was continued until 1847.
The legislature of two houses was restored in 1848, and
after considerable agitation on the part of the Assem-
bly, and resistance on the part of the Council, respon-
sible government was conceded in 1855, certain condi-
tions stipulated for by the Duke of Newcastle having
been previously complied with; the principal of these
being the passing of an act increasing the number of
representatives to 30, with a subdivision of the larger
districts, and providing retiring allowances for the
officials to be displaced.

The census returns of 1857 give 1,552 farmers, 1,970
mechanics, and 38,578 persons engaged in catching and
curing fish, showing that almost the whole population
of Newfoundland are engaged in the fisheries, the pro-
duce of which exported in 1862, exclusive of about
200,000 quintals codfish exported from the Labrador
coast, and a large quantity of herring and salmon,
consisted of 1,080,069 quintals dry codfish, valued at
£787,821; 1,135 quintals had’dock, value £568; 420 quin-
tals codfish, value £105; 34,484 barrels herring, value
£17,242 ; 549 brla. trout, value £1,098; 4,227 tierces sal-
mon, value £12,681 ; besides a small quantity of mack-
erel, caplin, and halibut. There were also exported
2,637 tons cod oil, valued at £98,710; 354 tons cod liver
oil (refined), value £21,271; 3,406 tons seal oil, value
£136,263, and 268,642 seal skins, value £40,294; the seal
fishery in the spring of 1862 being reckoned half an
average fishery. There were also a few tons of whale
and dog oil exported.

The imports of flour, bread (biscuit), and other arti-
cles, the produce of agriculture (including live stock},
were: horses, 75; oxen and cows, 2,014; sheep, 4,359;
swine, 131; bacon and hams, 1,1893 cwt. ; beef, (salted)
2,321 brls. ; bread, 51,053 cwt.; butter, 15,264/, cwt.;

FINANCES-NEWFOTJNDLAND.

The revenue in 1862 was £116,929 17s. Id. ; expendi-
ture £138,058 17s. 6d. The excess of expenditure
over revenue was caused by a very large outlay
for the relief of the poor, necessitated by the failure
of the Labrador fishery, and an indifferent shore
fishery.

In 1861, the revenue was £90,043 10s. 7d.

** “ expenditure 126,753 5s. 9d.

COLONIZATION AND AGRICULTURE— NEWFOUNDLAND.

There is at present little cultivation in Newfoundland
beyond a mile or two from the sea coast. Most of the
produce consumed by the inhabitants is imported from
the neighboring colonies.

In 1798, the Governor severely reprimanded the
sheriff* for having, during his absence the preceding
winter, allowed a Mrs. Gill to put up a fence, Thomas
Nevan to put up a few sheds, which were ordered to
be removed ; and the sheriff being also directed : “ You
will take good care that Jeremiah Marroty and John
Fitzgerald do not erect chimneys to their sheds, or
even light fires in them of any kind/’ During the
government of Sir V G. Gower (1804-7), however, the
pressure for permission to occupy ground in St. John's
for building purposes, and for gardens, appears to
have been such, that the. Governor received permission
to lay out a street parallel with the harbor, 200 yards
from high water mark, the ground on the upper side of
which might be sold for building purposes, the water
side being still reserved for fish-takes, stages, and cook
rooms; and it was not until 1811, that an act of the
Imperial Parliament was passed, authorizing that sev-
eral ship rooms therein named, “be granted, let, and
possessed as private property;" portions of the harbor
at the east and west ends being still reserved “ for the
drying, curing, and husbanding of fish/"

The prohibition of settlement outside the harbours
in which the fishing rooms were situated, was not,
however, so strictly enforced. In orders issued by the
Government in 1776, respecting “ disputes lately arisen
about property in land," it is ordered : “that all lands
that are not actually fenced in shall remain open, pub-
lic and common, to all persons without distinction,
to cut wood for the use of the fishery, fuel, &c., to turn
cattle upon, and cut grass; that if any of the places
now actually inclosed, and herein permitted to remain
so, are ever hereafter left unfenced, during one year,
such places shall revert to the public common : that
if any person hereafter shall presume to fence in or
inclose any lands (other than so at this day), con-
trary to this order, all persons are at liberty to take
down such fences or enclosures." Notwithstanding
the prohibition of settlement, however, parties conti-
nued to squat on the land along the coast, but it was
not until 1817 that the Governor received instructions
empowering him “ in consideration of the representa- |

tions which had been made from time to time, as to
the distressed state of the population ofNewfoundland,
and of the fact, that notwithstanding the ungenial cli-
mate, the country might nevertheless be adapted to
raise many articles of subsistence, especially potatoes,
to take measures to ascertain those parts of the Island
in which cultivation was most likely to bo attended
with success, and then to proceed to make grants to
any individuals willing to engage in the cultivation of
them, taking care always that the grants made be not
beyond the means of the individual to cultivate, and
that a small quit-rent per acre be reserved lor the use
of His Majesty." It was not until after the establish-
ment of a local Legislature that an act was passed for
the regulation and disposal of the crown lands of the
Colony. Much of the land along the coast is not adapt-
ed for cultivation. The produce consists chiefly of
hay, potatoes, turnips, and other green crops, there
being but little grain raised. Oats, barley, and even
wheat, have, however, been raised to advantage, and
some hundreds of bushels are annually produced. Oats
are sown in the neighborhood of St. .John’s to some
extent, but the greater part of the crop is cut green
lot the winter feed of cattle. About 20 years ago an
agricultural society was formed in St. John’s, under
the auspices of Governor Sir John Harvey, and last
year another society was established at Harbor Grace.
The St.John’s society has done much for the improve-
ment of the breed of cattle by importing superior ani-
mals, and has also promoted cultivation of the soil by
importing seeds, and granting premiums, which are
competed for at the annual agricultural exhibitions.
Both societies, as well as the local legislature, are now
exerting themselves to the utmost to induce greater
attention to agriculture; and the government, author-
ized by a recent act of the legislature, have offered free
grants of land to actual settlers, with assistance to
erect dwellings, and have given the first year’s seed.
Two years ago a floral and horticultural society was
formed at St. John’s, from which much benefit is anti-
cipated.

masters of high classical and mathematical attain-
ments. Commercial schools are also established in
most of the larger settlements. All these institutions

CLERGY OF NEWFOUNDLAND.

Religious liberty is of recent date in Newfoundland.
It was not until 1784, that the first Roman Catholic
priest, consecrated bishop in 1796, was allowed to reside
m the island, although about half the population ap-
pear to have been Roman Catholics from an early pe-
riod. It was in 1847 that Newfoundland was erected
into a diocese of the Roman Catholic church, which in
1856 was divided into the dioceses of St. John’s and
Harbor Grace.

There were a few clergymen of the church of Eng-
land in the Island from an early period, but too few to
minister to the spiritual wants of its scattered popula-
tion. In 1805, on the creation of the bishopric of Nova
Scotia, Newfoundland was included within the diocese,
and was cared for by Dr. Inglis, the bishop ; but in 1839,
on the establishment of the see of Newfoundland, Dr.
Spencer, the first bishop, found only 8 clergymen of
the church of England in the island. In 1786, three
Wesleyan missionaries were sent to the island, who la-
bored with considerable success, and whose numbers
have been gradually augmented. The Congregation-
alisms date from 1775, when a Mr. Jones, a soldier in the
garrison at St. John’s, organized a church, over which
he was ordained in England, on obtaining his discharge
in 1779, and obtained permission from the Governor to
conduct service in 1782. In 1843, a Presbyterian church
was established, in connection with the church of Scot-
land; and in 1849, a Free church. In 1855, a second
Presbyterian Free church, in connection with the
Presbyterian church of the Lower Provinces, was es-
tablished at Harbor Grace.

The census of the Labrador was cursorily taken by the late superintendent of fisheries (James L. Prender-
gast) in 1856 and 1857, but it is not sufficiently correct or full to form a part of the foregoing returns. a The
number of permanent residents, as given by that gentleman, from L’Anse Sablon to Sandwich Bay, both inclu-
sive including Belle Isle, is 1650, of whom 1331 are Protestants, and 319 Catholics.

NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS.

The first newspaper, the Royal Gazette , /was com-
menced in 1806, on the representation of the magis-
trates, merchants, and principal inhabitants, that such a
publication would be useful, and the offer of John Ryan
to conduct it. Permission was granted by the Gover-
nor to establish a printing office, and to issue a weekly
newspaper, “ provided he shall give bond in the Court
of Sessions for .£200 stg., with good securities, that pre-
vious to the printing of each number of the said paper,
he shall submit the perusal of the proposed contents
thereof to the magistrates in the Court of Sessions, and
not insert in the said paper any matter, which, in their
opinion, or in the opinion of the Governor tor the time
being, may tend to disturb the peace of His Majesty’s
subjects.” ST . JGHN>8 .

MINES.

There are several parties working mines of copper
and lead in the island. Enterprise is now strongly
manifested in this direction ; but no thorough survey
of the Colony has yet been made, and until this is done
it is impossible to form an opinion of its mineralogies!
resources. A geological and mineralogical survey will
probably be commenced in the summer of 1864.

TELEGRAPH COMPANIES-

The New York, Newfoundland and London Tele-
graph company has its terminus at St. John’s, and
there are several branch lines in connection with it m
the island.

STEAMBOAT LINES-

A mail steamer, under contract with the British gov-
ernment, runs fortnightly for 8 months, and monthly
the other 4, viz : January, February, March and April,
between St. John’s and Halifax, to meet the Cunaru
line at Halifax. The steamers of the North Atlantic
Royal Mail Steamship Co. also call off the harbor of bt.
John’s, for mails and passengers. A mail coastal
Bteamer, subsidized by the Colony, plies along the
coast, and a second in Conception Bay.

CURRENCY — NEWFOUNDLAND

289

CURRENCY, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

The coins current in the Colony are British money,
and American half and quarter dollars, with a small
quantity of American gold coin; also, Spanish silver
pieces, of Is. 3d. and Is. in value. An act was passed
during the last session of the legislature for regulating
the currency. The weights and measures are accord-
ing to the standard of England, as prescribed by the
Colonial act, 4th Wm. IV., cap. 7.

PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.

No distinction is made between the members of the
medical profession. The following are those now prac-
tising :

St. John's.— Drs. Rochefort, McKen, Stabb, Crowdy,
Simm, Renouf, Frazer, Bunting, and Shea.

Harbor Grace.— Drs. Dow and Allan ; Dr. Birni,
Carbonear.

PATENTS.

Patents are granted for useful inventions, under a
Colonial Act, 19th Vic., cap. 19. The fees on a patent
are £7 stg.

ST. JOHN’S-NEWFOUNDLAND.

St. John’s, the capital of the island, is the only town
of anv considerable size. It is not incorporated The
population in 1867 was 24,861. Harbor Grace and Car-
bonear are the two next in size, and contained in 1867,
6,096, and 4,808 inhabitants, respectively. There are
several fire companies in St. John’s, and one in Har-
bor Grace. The bells are rung, and two guns fired
from Signal Hill when a fire is perceived to have brok-
en out. Since the introduction of water into St John’s
on a large scale, and the establishment of a more effi-
cient system of fire companies, fires of large extent
have not occurred. St. John’s has several times been
partially destroyed by fire. The last, occasion was in
1844, when the loss exceeded £ 1,000, 000 cy. The busi-
ness part of the town is now built of brick and stone,
and an abundant supply of water has been provided,
at a cost of £90,000. The supply is obtained from a
lake 400 feet above the town, giving such a pressure as
to extinguish a fire in a few minutes. Harbor Grace
has also been supplied with water from a source over
200 feet above the town, at a cost of £16,000.

Note on the year 1862. — This year cannot be classed
among the least eventful in the world’s history. It
presented the usual commixture of good and evil. In
England, the insufficient supply of cotton, in conse-
quence of the American civil war, threw a large por-
tion of the industrial population out of employment,
and was the cause of widely-extended distress. But
other branches of commerce flourished, and the pros-
perity of the nation was not impeded. The great In-
ternational Exhibition passed off successfully ; one of
England’s Princesses was given in marriage, and the
heir to the Throne attained his majority. In colonial
affairs there is little to remark. The Bank circulation
in Canada decreased, but in some respects commerce
progressed satisfactorily. The year was marked bv a
ministerial crisis in Canada, the Macdonald (,J.A.)-
Cartier cabinet being replaced by the Macdonald t«L 8.)-
Sicotte government.— In the United States, the deplo-
rable civil war was waged unrelentingly. The Federals
in the early part of the year gained many important
advantages, but when the forces of the North had
assembled within sight of Richmond, and the city
seemed doomed to fall, these advantages were suc-
ceeded by a series of disastrous and sanguinary de-
feats, which resulted in the retreat of the invading host,
and an incursion of the Confederates into Maryland.
The cause of liberty and humanity, however, in some
respects made no inconsiderable progress. Negroes were
organized, armed and incorporated in the armies of the
North, and a treaty was concluded with Great Britain,
permitting the search of vessels at sea, for the more
effectual suppression of the slave-trade. The laws
against slave traders were more rigidly enforced, and '
one slave captain suffered the penalty of death.— In *
Mexico, the Emperor of the French continued to pro-
secute an unprofitable and unpopular adventure. — On
the continent of Europe, the course of events was not
altogether peaceful. Garibaldi, the hero of Italy, was
severely wounded at Aspromonte, and even subjected
to the indignity of a temporary imprisonment.— The
king of Prus'sia entered upon an obstinate course of
opposition to his subjects’ wishes and set aside the
constitution. — Greece deposed her sovereign, and went
a-begging for a king. She would fain have had an
English Prince to feign over her, but the invitation
was one that could not be accepted. In fine, it may be
anticipated that the events of 1862 will fill a page of
history neither uninteresting nor insignificant.

1863 .

January 1st — President Lincoln’s emancipation pro-
clamation is published, liberating the whole of the

Assembly, moves the second reading of a bill for the
purpose of preventing the execution of the sentence

opinion that the ends of the law would be equally, if
not better, served by executions before select witnesses.
Hon. J. A. Macdonald was in favor of public execu-
tions. He said the private executions in the United
States had no salutary check upon the reckless. Hon.
Mr. McGee said public executions were now generally
opposed by public opinion, although it was formerly
the reverse. Hon. Mr. Cauchon thought that until
the death penalty was abolished, executions should
take place in private. The bill was referred to a spe-
cial committee.— Great war meeting held at New

of the Democratic party.

had set himself to discover a practicable channel, and

being too aged to follow his calling as pilot.

12/A-Mr. Bell (of Russell), in the Canadian Legislative
Assembly, moves for the appointment of a special com-
mittee to investigate the subject of a navigable line of
communication between Montreal and Lake Huron, by
way of the Otta\wa and Matawan rivers, Lake Nipis-
sing and French River. He said: The Ottawa, Nipis-
sing and French River route was better known 100 years
ago than it had beep recently. The bold and enterprising
men who explored this part of the North American
Continent, after having obtained a thorough know-
ledge of the lines of water communication betwcon
Quebec and the West, gave the preference to the
Ottawa route, and for generations it was the great
thoroughfare. Afterwards, when Upper Canada be-
gan to be filled up with settlers, who had interests and
more or less connection with the country on the south
side of the St. Lawrence, they settled along the banks
of that river and the lakes. The land was good, and
invited settlement. It was unfortunate for Canada
that its populous country lay on a long frontier. We
wanted a greater depth of settled country. A few
years ago, the country which was now the great West
amounted to nothing. It now contained a great popu-
lation, and yielded an immense trade, which was at this
moment seeking increased facilities of transport from
that country to the ocean. It must continue to increase,
and the British North-West territory would yet be-
come the granary of a continent, and must have an
immense trade with Europe. The Committee was
appointed.

’reclamation of President. Lincoln, the Earl says : —
“There seems to be no declaration of a principle ad-
verse to slavery in this proclamation. It is a measure
of war, and a measure of a very questionable kind. I
venture to say I do not think it can or ought to satisfy
the friends of abolition, who look for total and impar-

the slaveowner.”

Note on the year 1863.— There is little to remark in
colonial affairs during the past year. The prosecu-

tion of the intercolonial railway project has again
been indefinitely postponed. . . In Canada, the min-
istry formed in 1862 was defeated. A reconstruc-
tion took place; the house of assembly was dissolved,
and a general election having ensued, the new house
met on the 13th August. The reconstructed ministry
retained their places during the session by a very small
majority. . . The year was also marked by a bold pro-
ject to release the Southern prisoners confined on John-
son’s Island, by an expedition got up on Canadian
territory. The design was happily frustrated by the
vigilance of the authorities... In the neighboring
states the close of the year has found the civil war still
raging w ith undiminished intensity. Both sides have
suffered severely, but the Federals have been upon the
whole successful. The Confederates have lost Port
Hudson and Vicksburg, and the extent of their terri-
tory has been seriously circumscribed. At the close
of the year, the price of gold in the Northern States
was 152, while in the Contederate capital it was from
12 to 1,500. Fortunately, however, the peace of Europe
has not been disturbed by the conflict in America,
and the departure of the George Griswold to Britain,
laden with American donations for the relief of the
suffering English operatives, w as a satisfactory token
of the existence of kindly feelings between the two
nations. . . In Europe the chief interest has been con-
centrated upon the hopeless struggle carried on by
the unhappy Roles against Russia, whose cruelties
have outraged humanity. Denmark has been agitated
by the Holstein difficulties, and all Europe has been
disturbed by vague anticipations of coming strife. . .
Great Britain, during the year has had to encounter
some minor difficulties in New Zealand and India,
and with Japan, but there has been a wonderful in-
crease to her commerce and general prosperity.

Bancroft, Hbnry, Advocate, was born in the city
of Montreal, about the year 1818. Some of his earlier
ears were passed in mercantile pursuits in New York,
ut at a later period he came to Montreal, and entered
upon the study of the law in the office of Messrs. Be-
thune and Duukin. While a student, he contributed
law reports for some months to the Montreal Gazette.
Having completed the five years’ term of study then
required, he w-as admitted to the bar in August 1850.
Some time after he entered into partnership with F.
W. Torrance, Esq., advocate, of Montreal, and conti-
nued in business with him for nearly two years. He
then became the partner of A. Cross^ Esq., advocate,
and this connection lasted till Mr. Bancroft was com-
pelled by ill health to relinquish the practice of his
prolession. He married a daughter of Dr. Barber,
professor of Oratory in McGill University. His con-
stitution had never been very robust, and' the toils of
an arduous prolession began to make grave inroads
upon his health w hile yet in the prime of life. The
first serious illness came upon him towards the spring
ot 1862, and he went to New York to obtain some re-
laxation from business. But there he was attacked in
a more alarming manner, and his mental powders so
far weakened as to preclude him from attending to
any business involving thought or anxiety. Having
returned to Canada, he passed the summer of 1862 at
Knowlton. in the Eastern Townships, at the residence
of his wile’s brother-in-law, Christopher Dunkin, Esq.,
M.R.R. liis health improved during the summer, but
in the fall he had another serious attack, and the winter
passed away without much change. During the sum-
mer of 1863 he had so far recovered his health that his
friends entertained hopes that he might be restored to
a career of usefulness, but it was ordered otherwise.
On Sunday, the 27tli September, he had attended di-
vine service at Knowlton, apparently in good health,
but in the afternoon he suddenly lapsed into a stato of
unconsciousness. During the ensuing week he sank
rapidly, and on the morning of Friday, 2nd October
1863, he breathed his last at Mr. D unkin’s residence,
Lakeside, Knowlton. The cause of death was ascer-
tained to be softening of the brain. Mr. Bancroft was
one of those who are sadly missed from the circle in

which they have moved. His legal career was too
brief to admit of his attaining an eminent position at
the bar, but he was attached to the profession. In
private life Mr. Bancroft was pre-eminently a gen-
tleman of the strictest honor and integrity, and a
Christian of most consistent and exemplary depoit-
rneut. While at New York, he was an active Sunday
School teacher, and at Montreal he was for several
years the esteemed superintendent of the Sunday
School connected with Trinity Church, of which his
younger brother, the Rev. Canon Bancroft, D.D., is
Incumbent. He also represented the Church as a lay
delegate to the Diocesan Synod, and w'as an efficieut
member of the Montreal Bible Society. Kind-hearted
and benevolent, frank and considerate, Mr. Bancroft
attracted the warm regard of those about him. His
career wag suddenly cut short, but the memory of his
blameless life and active benevolence, will be of much
more lasting duration.

Billault, Minister of State, France, died on the 13th
Oct., 1863, at his country residence, near Nantes.
He had been suffering for some time from a heart
complaint. M. Billault was born at Yannes, in the
Morbihan, in 1805. He studied law at Rennes, and on
being called to the bar established himself at Nantes.
In 1834 he was named member of the Council General
of his Department. In 1837 he was elected to the
Chamber of Deputies by three colleges at the same
time. On the accession of the Thiers Ministry, in
March, 1840, he was appointed Under Secretary of
State. This post was abolished in October following,
when M. Thiers resigned office. M. Billault was soon
after admitted a member of the Paris bar, and in the
Chamber became one of the most persistent and acri-
monious opponents of M. Guizot’s Government. In
1846 he was elected for the third arondissement of
Paris, and also for Ancenis in the Morbihan. He de-
clined taking any active part in the organization of
the Reform banquets whicn were the precursors of the
revolution of February. Immediately after that catas-
trophe, M. Billault w T a8 returned to the Constituent
Assembly for the Department of the Loire Inferieure,
and took his place among the “ Moderate Democratic’'

Almanac. 1864.]

party. After the coup d'etat of the 2nd December, he
was named president of the new Corps Legislatif, and
greatly contributed to the re-establishment of the Em-
pire. In July 1853, he succeeded M. de Persigny, as
Minister of the Interior, and was called up to the
Senate in December of the same year. M. Billault
was subsequently named speaking minister, and his
duty was, with M. Baroche, to defend in the Chamber
the acts of the Government. The labour thrown upon
him by this ungrateful office— for he often had to de-
fend measures which he did not approve — under-
mined his health. At the last change of Ministry he
was appointed Minister of State in place of M.
Walewski. He was an able and ready speaker, and
nn adept in the art of dressing out a bad cause in the
fairest colours. He was always listened to with plea-
sure, even by those who differed from him. M. Bill-
ault was small in person, with regular, delicate, and
expressive features. In private life he was gentle and
kind in jpanner, without a particle of flippancy or
pomposity.

Brodie, Sir Benjamin, an eminent English Sur-
geon, died 2l8t October, 1862.

Brown, Peter, was born about 1784. In his earlier
years he was a merchant in Edinburgh, Scotland, and
an active politician on the liberal side during the time
of the borough- reform agitation. In 1838, he emi-
grated with his family, and resided five years at New
i ork. While there he was for a time on the editorial
staff of the New York Albion, and subsequently became
editor of the British Chronicle . He also published a
work called the “ Fame and Glory of England vindi-
cated,'’ intended as a reply to a publication of Mr. C. E.
Lester, styled, “The Shame and the Glory of England.”
In 1843, at the request of the prominent clergymen
and members 6f the Presbyterian church of Canada,
Mr. Brown removed to Toronto, where he established
the Toronto Banner, as an independent organ of liberal
Presbyterian views. This journal was edited for many
years with great vigour and ability. From 1844 to 1849
Mr. Brown also contributed largely to the editorial
columns of the Globe. For a year previous to his
death, which occurred on Tuesday 30th June. 1863, he
had been in feeble health, which ended in an attack of
congestion of the lungs. The day previous to his death
was the 79th anniversary of his birth, and the 50th of
his marriage. Mr. Brown was a man of superior at-
tainments, as a writer clear and logical, and in private
life displaying qualities which gained him the esteem
of a large circle of friends. He was the father of the
Hon. Geo. Brown, proprietor of the Toronto Globe.

Burns, the IIon. Robert Easton, was born at
Niagara, on the 26th December 1805. His father was
the Rev. John Burns, a Presbyterian Minister, who
emigrated from Scotland in 1803, and became Princi-
pal of the Niagara Grammar School. Educated by his
father, young Burns commenced the study of the law,
at the age of 16, in the office of the late Mr. John
Brcakenridge, of the town of Niagara . He was called
to the bar immediately after concluding his studies,
and practised for somo years in Niagara, St. Catherines,
and Hamilton, with considerable success. In Septem-
ber 1837, he was appointed Judge of the Niagara Dis-
trict, and in the spring of 1838 came to Toronto and
entered into partnership with Att’y Gen. Hagerman.
When the seat of Government was taken to Kingston
the Court of Chancery followed, and Mr. Burns became
a resident of that city, but removed again to Toronto
on the Government becoming established in Montreal.
Here Mr. Burns became a partner of Mr. Philip Van-
koughnet and Mr. Oliver Mowat, but was verv soon
appointed to the important office of Judge of the
Home District, which he held until the year 1848 or
1849, when he resigned to form a partnership with Mr.
John Duggan. A very short time afterwards, how-
ever, he was appointed by the Baldwin-Lafontaine
Government puisne Judge of the Court of Queen’s
Bench, an office which he held until his death. A
few years ago, he was appointed Chancellor of the
University of Upper Canada. His last public duty
was performed at the Hamilton Assizes, about two
months before Ids death. He returned home suffering
from an attack ot dropsy, accompanied by a general
break-up of the constitution, and was unable after-
wards to leave his house. At noon on the 12th Jan.
1863, his sufferings, whi<;h had been severe, were

U

brought to a close, and he peacefully expired, sur-
rounded by the members of his family. Mr. Burns
married first, on the 10th Feb. 1835, Anne Flora Tavlor
daughter of Mr. John Thomas Taylor. By this mar-
riage he had four sons, three of whom survive him
His wife having died in Sept. 1850, in 1856 he married
Miss Britannia Warton, of Toronto, who died in 1858
The funeral of the Judge took place from his residence"
Yorkville, on Thursday the 14th January, at two.
o clock, and was largely and respectably attended.
Among the mourners were the Judges at present in
Toronto, and a number of the leading citizens in car-
riages and on foot. The procession on foot was com-
posed of the students and professors of the Universitv
in full academical costume, headed by the janitor car-
rying the mace covered with crape ; the treasurer and
members of the Law Society in their robes, and citi-
zens walking two and two. After the reading of the
burial service of tffe Church of England, the coffin
containing the body was deposited in the vault of the
St. James' Cemetery. Although Mr. Justice Burns
never engaged in politics, yet as a leading member of
the Chancery Bar, and the occupant of three judicial
situations, he filled a prominent position in Upper
Canada. He possessed a sound judgment, an accurate
and retentive memory, and large experience.

Campbell Colin, Field Marshall, Lord Clyde
was born on the 20th Oct 1792, in or near Glasgow^
i r - 8 r , w , as a mechanic; his mother a

Highland lady. At an early age he was taken from
Scotland, and put to school abroad and in England
ioao years he never revisited his native land.*
in 1808, beiore he was 16 years of age, an uncle pro-
cured for him an ensigney in the 9th Regiment of Foot.
His regiment marched the day after lie joined it, to
embark tor the Peninsula. There he served a rough
apprenticeship. Within three weeks from the time he
left the Military school at Gosport, he saw the French
infantry on the hill sides of Vimiera, and took part in
the opening actions of that series of campaigns which
led to the liberation of Spain from the yoke of Bona-
parte. He had scarcely landed from the transport
which carried him from the shores of Spain when lie-
was ordered off to participate in the disasters of the
W alcheren expedition in 1809. The fever struck into
his body so keenly that, until he went to China 30
years afterwards, “ Walchereu,” as he said, “ was with
me every season.” From Walcheren he returned to
Spain in 1810. where, with better fortune, he shared in
the battle of Barossa in March 1811, and the defence
of Tariifa on January 5, 1812 ; and in 1812 he was trans-
ferred to a corps of the Spanish armv, with which he
was actively employed against the French. In this
year lie also took part in the unsuccessful movement
against the French at Tarragona. In 1813 he joined
tho Duke i of Wellington s army again, and plunged
into the thickest of the hard fighting which took place
m that memorable year. He had in his first year's
service reached the grade of lieutenant, and now at
the ageof 21, he had made a name for activity, courage
and determination, which began to be heard through
the army. He passed unscathed through Yittoria, but
m the breach of St. Sebastian he was not so fortunate
He ed a forlorn hope which rushed to the aid of the-
neglected storraers, and received two wounds in that
desperate encounter. On the 9th of Nov. 1813 he
became a Captain by brevet, and in that position the-
hero of St. Sebastian, who had now added to his
wounds a bullet path through the thigh, received at
the passage of the Bidassoa, remained for 12 long
years. From France he proceeded to America, iu
1814, to serve against the Federal Government. He
had been transferred to the 60tli Rifles, but when the
brief war in America was over, he still remained a
captain till he was 33 years of age, and was naturally
discontented at seeing younger men with less service
but longer purses, shoved over his head. In 1823, he
served as Brigade Major of the force employed in
reducing the blacks in Demerara, where he revived
the dormant venom of his Walcheren fever. After
this time, Great Britain being at peace, he had no.
opportunity for distinguishing nimsell till the war
against China in 1842. Ten years before this he had
obtained a sufficient sum to enable him to purchase-
his long-deferred Lieutenant Colonelcy. From China
he proceeded to India, where he commanded the third
division of the army of the Punjab in the Sihk war

Here he took a conspicuous part in several engage-
ments, and earned the name of an able general in addi-
tion to that of the thorough soldier, which he had won
and enjoyed so long. He was next engaged in the war
against Russia, in which he commanded the three kilted
and plumed regiments of the Highland Brigade that
won so much glory at Alma and Balaclava. But chagrin
at seeing his juniors put over him induced him to leave
the Crimea, till his services had been properly recog-
nized. In 1856 he was made a Lieut. Gem Ilic able

l the great Indian mu-

tin v is too well remembered to need description, and
the old general, covered with wounds and glory, was
now created a Field Marshal and raised to the Peerage.
The honors which ho had so nobly earned were at
length accorded to him, but too late tor full enjoy-
ment. Rent with shot and steel, his sturdy trame
began to shew signs of giving way . a severe illness, a
few months ago, which affected his heart and lungs,
hastened his dissolution, and, at length, the grey
haired veteran passed away, amid the tender cares
and subdued sorrow ot thoso who loved him well. In
nerson Lord Clyde was well knit, symmetrical, and
graceful; but of late years his shoulders became some-
what bowed, though he lost little of the activity which
wa? remarkable in so old a man. To the last Ins teeth
remained full and firm in the great square jaws, and
hi<? eve pierced the distance with all the force of his
youthful vision. His crisp, grey locks still stood close
and thick, curling over the head and above the wrink-
led brow, and there were few external signs of the
decay of nature which was no doubt going on within,
accelerated by so many wounds, such fevers, such
relentless, exacting service. Raised from obscurity
bv his own merits to the highest pinnacle of his pro-
fession, Lord Clyde is a remarkable example ot what
strength of mind and high character can accomplish.
He leaves behind him a name as illustrious as any
among the long roll of Britain’s heroes.

Copley, John Singleton, (Lord Lyndhurst).
This distinguished lawyer and statesman, the Nestor
of the House of Lords, who died at 3 A.M on the 12th
October 1863, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on
the 21st May 1772. His father, who was a painter of
some eminence, settled in London, after the American
Revolution. Young Copley was placed under the
care of a private tutor, and subsequently proceeded to
THnitv College, Cambridge, where he was second
wrangler in 1795. Ho was elected fellow of Ills col-
We shortly afterwards, and about this time visited
his native place and Canada. In 1795 ho received the
degree of M.A., and entering upon the study of the
law was called to the bar on the 8th June, 1804, being
then 32 years of ago. His father died on the 9th Sept,
1815 at which time his son’s forensic renown was
rapidly increasing. In 1818, Lord Liverpool invited
idm to enter the House, and lie was accordingly re-
turned for Yarmouth. The following year he became
one of his Majesty’s sergeants, and soon after re-
ceived tho appointment of Solicitor General, in which
capacity he took part in conducting tho prosecution
of ^Caroline, Princess of Wales. In his youth he held
liberal opinions, but on entering Parliament joined
the Tory party then in power. In 1819 he received
the honor Of knighthood, and in 1824 became Attornoy
General. Two years later ho was appointed Mas-
tor of the Rolls, and in 1827 becamo Lord Chan-
cellor On the break-up of tho Tory party, Lord
Lvndhurst, it is said, was willing to oontmue in office
under a Reform Government, Ho was not, however,
retained^ Chancellor, but Lord Grey, in 1830, ap-
Pointed him Lord Chief Baron . He took a prominent
part, in the debates on the Reform Bill, amt, in May,
1832, succeeded in beating the Government on a motion
for the postponement of the disfranchising . clauses.
The Government at once resigned, and forthwith began
the dreadful riots which marked that period. At a
meeting at Brooke’s Club, tho present Earl of Derby
jumped on tho table, and, amid enthusiastic cheers,
uttered the strongest and most vehement expressions
of indignation against the Tory majority. cry

was raised “ To slop tho Duke (of Wellington); to go
fbr gold,” and in thVee days *1,800,000 was taken from
the Bank of England. As to Lord Lyndhurst himself,
his name was the signal for tho fiercest execrations.
Lord Grey was recalled to power, and the Reform Bill
wus earned. Lord Lyndhurst said: “Reform, my

lords, Reform has triumphed. The barriers of the con-
stitution have been broxen down, and the waters of
destruction approach the gates of the temple. Who can
«ay where its course shall stop? Who shall stay its
speed?” When LordGrey resigned in 1834, Lord Lynd-
hurst was again appointed Chancellor, but retained
the office of Lord Chief Baron with the Chancellorship
from Nov. 21 till Dec. 23 of that year. The Ministry
lasted only a few months, but during this brief period
some most important measures were passed, the Ec-
clesiastical Commission was appointed, the alteration
of the law of Dissenters’ marriages was effected, and
the Tithe Commutation Act removed a source of per-
petual irritation and worry from the clergy. The year
1841 witnessed the overthrow of the Whigs, and Lord
Lyndhurst was for the third time appointed Chancellor.
He held office during Sir R. Teel’s ministry, supported
the grant to Maynootlvand supported the repeal of the
corn laws as a matter of official duty, and finally
retired from office in 1846. Lord Lyndhurst fre-
quently addressed his peers, taking part in the discus-
sions of all the great measures brought before Parlia-
ment. Ilis last grand speech was noteworthy for a
most remarkable scene. A handrail had been attached
to the bench below his for him to grasp. With totter-
ing gait and shrunken limbs, was it likely he could
speak? Yet speak he did, and astonished the House
by splendid bursts of eloquence, on the verge of ninety.
His latest achievements have been his grandest. The
invasion of the Principalities, the tyranny of Francis
of Naples, the appropriation of Savoy— every wrong,
every injustice found in the venerable old man an
immediate and a stern judge. For the last 10 or 12
years he held an enviable position in the House of
Lords. Though voting with the Conservatives, and
occasionally assisting them with his counsel, he poured
forth the wealth of his eloquence, the mellowed wis-
dom of his green old age, his wonderful stores ot
scholarship and historical illustration, his profound
sagacity and the lessons of his varied experience. His
first wife was the widow of Lt. Col. Chas. Thomas, who
fell at Waterloo. Three years after the death of this
lady, he married, at the age of 65, a young lady named
Miss Georgiana Goldsmith, celebrated for her beauty,
by whom ho had a daughter. Ilis death occurred
without pain or illness at the mature age of 91. To the
last his lordship was an indefatigable student, and it is
said that no one kept pace more completely with the
progress of contemporary literature. His eyes, his
memory, the quickness of his apprehension, and the
soundness of his judgment served nim faithfully to the
end of his life.

Cramtton, the Right Hon. Philip Cecil, wr.s
considered one of the best Judges on the Irish Bench
— a good lawyer, a sound reasouer- pains-taking, con-
scientious, and impartial— having in an eminent degree
the judicial faculty which enabled him to seize the
main points of a case — and to state his views with
clearness and force, lie w r as much respected by both
branches of the legal profession, and by the public at
large of all denominations. He became a Conserva-
tive in his later years, probably in consequence of the
violence of agitation in Ireland, with w r nose baneful
effects on the peace of society he had often to deal in
his judicial capacity. But he was always moderate in
his political sentiments. In religion he was Evangel-
ical, but ho was remarkably tolerant, alw r ay 8 advo-
cating the fullest freedom of conscience, and evincing
a friendly spirit towards Dissenters. He was so
deeply impressed with the evils of intemperance in
Ireland, that he felt great satisfaction in the move-
ment of the late Fattier Matthow, and was himselt
known for many years as a firm supporter of the
temperance cause, which he commended by his own
consistent example. He retained his mental faculties
in full vigour to tho last; and not many months before
his death he published an ably written pamphlet on
the subject of inspiration. He believed that inspira-
tion had to do only with the truths, the thoughts, or
ideas conveyed in the sacred Soriptures, and not with
the exact words employed, which might be varied
without affecting the meaning; that in tact the exact
words dictated by tho Author of revelation could not
be known with certainty; and that if the principle
were to be practically valid and available, the theory
must include translations of the Scriptures, for beyond
these tho mass of mankind, for whom tho Bible w as

1862, at his residence near Dublin.

Cresswbll, Sir Cresbwell, the distinguished
Judge of the English Divorce Court, died suddenly
on the evening of Wednesday, 29th July 1863. The
judge was the fourth son of Francis Easterby, of Black-
heath, who, on marrying an heiress of John Cresswell,
of Cresswell, took tne surname of that ancient Nor-
thumbrian family. The deceased was educated at
Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and called to the bar
At the Middle Temple in 1819. Having won for him-
self the rank of King’s counsel in 1834, and led the
Northern Circuit with an ability which acquired him
high reputation, Mr. Cresswell was, in 1837, elected to
the House of Commons as member for Liverpool. He
continued to represent that great commercial com-
munity till 1842, when, by the Government of Sir R.
Teel, he was appointed one of the justices of tho Com-
mon Pleas, and invested with the rank of knighthood.
In tho year 1858, after the passing of the bill abolish-
ing the old Ecclesiastical Courts of Doctors’ Commons,
with regard to probate of wills, divorce, and matrimo-
nial causes, and substituting a special and exclusive
jurisdiction for those cases, Sir Cresswell Cresswell
was appointed by Lord Cranworth as the most fitting
person on the judicial bench to fill the office of Judge
Ordinary of that court, and by a special act ho took
rank and precedence next to the Lord Chief Baron.
The Judge met with an accident shortly before his
death, but an examination of the body showed that
the heart was the sole seat of disease. The cause of
death was severe syncope, fatal, because occurring in
a weak heart, fattily degenerated. Deceased was in his
70th year.

Dr Bleury, Hon. C. C. S., was tho oldest member
of the Montreal Bar, having been admitted in Novem-
ber, 1819. He died on tho 15th September 1862.

Derbishire, Stewart, was born about 1798. Ho
•came to Canada in the year 1840, as an attach £ of Lord
Durham, and assisted in drawing up the report made
by the earl on tho state of the provinces previous to
the union. In 1842, he was appointed Queen’s printer
by Lord Sydenham, and retained the office up to the
time of his death, the business being carried on under
the firm of Desbarats & Derbishire. His death oc-
curred, after a short illness, about four o’clock on
the morning of the 27th March 1863, at his residence,
St. Foy road, Quebec. Mr. Derbishire was a man of
cultivated taste in literature, a liberal patron of the
fine arts, and of a sociable and generous disposition.

Eccles, Henry, Q. C., died at his residence in
Toronto, on the 2nd Nov. 1863. He was born at Bath,
England, in 1817. His father, Capt. Hugh Eccles of the
filst., who died a few years ago, was for a long time
a resident of Canada, having settled here after the
Feninsular war, in which he lost an arm. While his
father was living at Niagara, Henry studied law in the
office of Mr. James Boulton. He never attended any
public school, but was educated entirely by his father,
who was a gold medallist of Trinity College, Dublin.
He was called to the bar in Easter term 1842 ; was elected
a Bencher of the Law Society in 1853, and appointed
Queen’s Counsol in 1856. He soon attained a leading
position at the bar ; and for a long time was engaged, as
counsel, in nearly every case of importance. He ap-
peared to great advantage before a jury. Tall, well-
proportioned and erect, nis personal appearance was
imposing, and his voice was musical and well-man-
aged. He had a wonderful faculty of making a point
clear to the comprehension of an average jury; and
the simplicity of his style was one of the great sources
of his success. Under his manipulation, the most com-

? Heated case became clear and easy of comprehension,
le was also famous as a special pleader, and not less
so for his power of extortingtruthfroma witness. His
astute appreciation of evidence enabled him to seize
upon tho strong as well as the weak points and to make
the most of both. He had been in partnership with
Mr. Carroll, in Toronto, since 1854. In 1842, he married
Jane, fourth daughter of Captain Francis Lelievre, A.
U. G., Canada ; by whom he had one son, Francis Hugh
Eccles.

Freer, Cortland, was born in Quebec on the 31st
October 1831. He was the second son of Noah Freer,
for many years cashier of the Quebec Bank. He was
educated at the Upper Canada College, Toronto, where
he gained high honors, taking a first exhibition while
under 13, and also the Wellington scholarship. He
graduated at the Toronto University, and the degree of
M.A. was subsequently conferred upon him at a con-
vocation of Bishops’ College, Lennox ville, C- E. It
was intended that he should follow the legal profession,
but his own tastes induced him to prefer civil engin-
eering. He was actively employed during the con-
struction of part of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic
Railroad, and was afterwards one of the division engi-
neers. When this line had been transferred to the Grand
Trunk, he continued in connection with the latter
company, and finally became superintendent of the
eastern district, between Montreal, Quebec and Ri-
viere-du-Loup. In 1856, he married a daughter ot Mr.
Justice Sicotte. The surviving issue is a daughter
and two sons. He died after a short illness, on 1 riday,
18th September 1863, at his residence, Point Levi. His
remains were conveyed to Montreal, accompanied by
a large number of Iriends, on Monday the 21st Sep-
tember and interred in the Mount Royal cemetery.
The funeral service was performed in the Anglican
Cathedral, by his Lordship the Bishop and Metro-
politan, assisted by Rev. canon White and Rev. canon
Bond. Mr. Freer has been described as a man active
and energetic, ujiright and honest, high principled and
courteous to ail, a warm friend, charitable without os-
tentation, an exemplary son, and a kind and affec-
tionate husband.

Cathedral by the officiating clergyman, and during
the passage of the procession up the aisle, the organ
breathed forth the solemn strains of the Dead March
in “ Saul.” After the usual service for the dead, the
procession proceeded to fcherbrooke street, and thence
to the Mount Royal Cemetery. The Hon. Robt.
Harwood was much respected. Indulgent to his
tenantry, of unspotted reputation, courteous and con-
siderate to all with whom he had relations.

Isaacson, R. P., familiarly known in Montreal as
“Dolly,” and proprietor of “Dolly’s Chop House,”
was a native of Suffolk, England, where he resided for
the first twenty-nine years of his life, doing a consi-
derable business as a farmer and auctioneer. The
agricultural depression of 1830 and following years
induced him to emigrate to Canada in 1834. He settled
in Montreal, where he was for some time engaged at
Rasco’s Hotel. He subsequently set up a business in
St. Francois Xavier Street, whence he removed, about
1848, to his well-known establishment in Great St.
James Street. He died about eleven o’clock, Saturday
morning, 18th April 1863, at the age of 73 years and 4
months, rather from a gradual decay than from any
special disorder. Well-informed, kind-hearted and
charitable, Mr. Isaacson enjoyed a large share of
popularity.

Jtcbb, Sir Joshua, died suddenly on the 26th June,
1863. He was born in 1793. He served in the Royal
Engineers in Canada and the West Indies, and was
appointed Major in 1860. Of late years he was distin-
guished by his labors and writings in his capacity of
chairman of the directors of convict prisons.

Gourlay, Robert, came out to Canada in the
month of July 1817- In 1822, he published a work
called a “ General Introduction to Statistical Account
“ of Upper Canada with a view to a Grand System of
“Emigration.” Having incurred the displeasure of
the government by his political principles, he was
ordered to quit the province within six mouths as a
seditious person. This order he refused to obey, where-
upon he was arrested and lodged in Niagara jail.
While awaiting his trial, he continued Ins vehement
opposition to tne executive. Being at length found
guilty of refusing to obey the order, he was compelled
to retire to the United States, whence he soon after
proceeded to Englaud. He died at Edinburgh, on the
1st August 1863, in the eighty-fifth year of Ins age.
The Toronto Globe, in announcing his decoase, said :
“ This is the last of an able and honest man, who once
“ played a prominent part iu Canada in defence of the
tt right of free speech and printing, in opposition to a
“ tyrannical faction.”

Harwood, the Hon. Robert Unwin, M.L.C., was
born at Sheffield, England, on the 22d Jan. 1798. He
came to Canada in 1821. On the 15th Dec. 1^3, he
married the eldest daughter of the late Hon. M. Do
Lotbini5re, Seignior of Vaudreuil, Rigaud and Lotbi-
niere He was a member of the Lower Canada Legis-
lative Council during the administration of Lord
Avlmcr, and a member of the Special Council under
Lord Sydenham. He represented Vaudreuil in the
Legislative Assembly from 1857-1860, when he resigned
and was returned to the Legislative Council for Rigaud.
He was a Seignior, a large mill-owner, and Lieut, Col.
1st Batt . Vaudreuil Militia. He died April 1863. His
remains were conveyed from the Manor House, Vau-
dreuil to the residence of his son-in-law, De Bclle-
feuille McDonald, Esq., at Montreal, on Wednesday
the 15th April 1863. From an early hour in the fore-
noon the tenants of the Seigniory, and neighbors from
surrounding villages, began to assemble at the Manor
House, and at the hour specified for the procession to
form, there could hardly have been less than a thou-
sand persons present. The procession, headed by the
pall bearers, left the Manor about 5 p. m. and struck
across the Ottawa to the railway station. Hie scene
presented was extraordinary. When the sleighs had
all defiled in order on the ice, and the procession had
fullv uncoiled its serpentine length, it could scarcely
have been less than a mile long. A hearse and car-

Foulden, in Scotland, on the 17th Feb. 1800. Having
emigrated to Canada in 1819, he settled in Cobourg,
C. W., the following year, and there resided till his
death. By industry and perseverance, he established
a hardware business, which gradually became large
and prosperous. In 1860, be obtained a seat in the
Legislative Council, at the first popular election for
the Division of Newcastle. He was a man of cipnsi-
derable information, calm judgment, and strict inte-
grity. His kind and unassuming manners, and con-
sistent deportment, caused him to be widely esteemed,
and his loss to be generally lamented.

Kearnes, John, Lieut. Col. Served in Ireland
during the rebellion of 1798. After active service in
various quarters, he joined the Duke of Wellingtons
army in June, 1811, and w T as present at the sieges of
Ciudad Rodrigo, and Badajos. He received the silver
war medal with five clasps. At the close of his military
career, he emigrated to Canada in 1820, aud settled on
a government grant of land. During the rebellion of
1837 his military experience was made available by
the authorities, who selected him for the performance
of various and responsible duties. About the same
time, he was returned as member for the county of
Prescott, and sat in the Canadian Parliament for two
years. He also held the appointment of Lieutenant
Colonel of the local sedentary militia. He died at
North Plantagenet on the 27th March, 1863, at the ad-
vanced age of 86, after a few days’ illness. In accord-
ance with the old Peninsular officer’s ow r n wish, a vo-
lunteer firing party fired three rounds of blank car-
tridge over tne grave. During a residence of 40 years
in Canada, Col. Kearnes deserved and enjoyed a large
share of esteem.

Kinnear, David, late senior proprietor and editor
of the Montreal Herald, was born in Edinburgh about
the year 1807. His father, a banker, was a lineal de-
scendant of the celebrated colonel Gardiner. Mr. K.
studied for the Scotch bar, and was admitted, but did
not enter upon the practice of the profession. During
his residence in Edinburgh lie enjoyed the society
ofseveral men of celebrity, including Sir Walter Scott,
Mr. James Hogg, and professor Wilson. He was sub-
sequently engaged in commercial pursuits in London,
where he became acquainted with the leading literary
characters of that time. In 1835, he emigrated to
Canada, and after making a tour of the province, settled
at Drummondville. When the troubles of 1837 began
he was one of the first to take arms and assist in the
organization of a force to put down the rebellion. He
was subsquently appointed stipendiary magistrate, ua

charge of the police force which was temporarily em-
ployed in restoring order. Shortlyafter the termination
of this service, he became editor of the Montreal Ga-
zette, then owned by Armour and Ramsay, and finally,
having entered into partnership with Robert Weir,
proprietor of the Montreal Herald, he continued to fill
the post of. editor to that journal till his death, on tho
20th Nov. 1862, after a painful illness of four months.
The following tribute to his memory, which appeared
in the llerala the day after his death, is not too highly
colored: " His writings abundantly prove, that no
difference of race, creea, colour, or social position, ever
operated to create a prejudice in his mind against
either classes or individuals. We do not believe that
during the many years that he has been chief editor
of this paper, one single allusion has been made by
him calculated to insult or wound a human creature
on account of those accidents which are so often
turned into sources of bitterness and ill-will. If he has
not, at all times, completely escaped those personal
collisions to which persons who take part in political
warfare are unfortunately exposed, lie nevertheless,
considering the length of his career, had a remarkably
small list of enemies. W e may add that a man of more
independent feeling never lived. We are confident
that no one ever pretended to have influenced his
opinion by an unworthy motive, nor to have even sus-
pected him, on any grounds which he could allege, of
being capable of being so influenced. Of course, like
other men, he had faults ; but those most noticeable
were chiefly the exaggeration of firmness, in his ad-
herence to convictions which had been formed with
care; which were cherished because he believed
they led to what was good as well as true; and which
he had no thought of peddling away for his own
interests or out of complaisance to others. Ilis opinions
were expressed and held with manly openness. He
committed no errors having their origin in meanness
or duplicity."

Knowlton, the Hon. Paul Howard, M.L.C.,
was born in 1787 ; he was at one time Mayor of Knowl-
ton, C. E., and Warden of Brome. He was Colonel
Commanding Militia District No. 10. From the time
of his entrance into Parliament, about 35 years ago,
he continued to serve till his death. He was appointed
a member of tho Special Council by Sir John Col-
bourne, and subsequently on the 9th .Tune 1841, a
Legislative Councillor, at the time of the Union of the
Provinces. He resided in the Eastern Townships,
where ho took a lively interest in all questions affecting
the 'public welfare. Several memorials in his own
village attest his liberality. He died in 1863 at the
advanced age of 76.

Lindsay, William Burns, Clerk of the Legislative
Assembly, died on the 15th May 1862. He was born
at Quebec, in 1796. In 1808, he became a writer in
the office of his father, who in that year was appointed
Clerk of the House of Assemblv for Lower Canada.
Soon after the establishment of the Bank of Montreal
he was appointed a clerk, and eventually became teller.
His father’s ill health having compelled him to resign
in 1829, the son was appointed clerk of the House in
his place, and resignerf his situation in the Bank. When
the legislature of United Canada was in session at
Kiugston, Mr. Lindsay was appointed by Lord Syd-
enham clerk of the Legislative Assembly, an office
which he retained till his death. He left a widow and
ten children living. His eldest son succeeded to the
clerkship of the Legislative Assembly. Mr. Lindsay
bore the character of an efficient and impartial public
officer. On the announcement of his death, eloquent
tribute to his worth was paid by Hon. Mr. Cartier,
then Premier, and other members. The House ad-
journed to testify respect to his memory, and the
funeral was attended by the members in a body.

McNab, Sir Allan Napier, Bart., was born at
Niagara in 1798. His grandfather, Major Robert Mc-
Nab, of the 42nd regt., held the situation of Royal
Forester in Scotland. His father, who was attached
to the staff of Gen. Simcoe, during the revolutionary
war, subsequently accompanied the Gen. to Canada.
While Sir Allan was yet at school, the Americans
having attacked Toronto, he was summoned to bear
arms, and joined the army in its retreat to Kingston,
after Toronto had been surrendered. After serving
some time as a midshipman in the navy, he joined the

100th regt., and was present at the taking of Fort Ni-
agara. Having received an ensigney in the 49th, he
saw considerable service during the war. At the re-
duction ot the army, about 1816, he was placed on half
pay. After these youthful exploits, he entered upon
the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in
1825. He practised with success for many years at
Hamilton, and is said to have received the first ap-
pointment as Queen’s Counsel made in Upper Canada.
He entered Parliament, tor the first time, m 1829, and
after serving in three parliaments became the repre-
sentative of the City of Hamilton. During the insur-
rection of 1837-8, he took an active partin suppressing
disaffection, and was knighted for his services. He
was at this time speaker of the Lower House, and after
the union of the Canadas, was elected Speaker of the
United Assembly. He became Premier in 1854, and,
on his retirement in 1856, was created a baronet. After
a long political career, during which he had repre-
sented the City of Hamilton or County in nine succes-
sive parliaments, Sir Allan, in 1857, was induced to
retire in consequence of ill-health. In 1859, however,
Sir Allan ran for the town of Brighton, at the general
election in England, but was defeated by a small ma-
jority by Admiral Pechell. Having returned to Cana-
da in 1860, he entered the Legislative Council. He was
twice married, first, in 1821, to a daughter of Lieut.
D. Brooke, the issue being a son and daughter; se-
condly, in 1831, to a daugnter of Sheriff Stuart. By
this marriage there were two daughters, one of whom
married Viscount Bury, eldest son of the Earl of Albe-
marle; and the other, a son of Sir Dominick Daly.
Sir Allan died on the 8th of August, 1862. An un-
happy dispute arose as to the faith in which the baro-
net died. On the 10th August, Rev. Mr. Geddes in-
formed his congregation that he had been restrained
in his attempts to offer spiritual consolation to deceas-
ed, in consequence of his alleged conversion to the Ro-
man Catholic faith. The funeral was conducted ac-
cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, as
directed by his executrix and sister-in-law, Mrs. Mc-
Nab. Sir Allan McNab was one of the most distin-
guished statesmen of Canada. Of his public life he
thus wrote in his farewell address to the electors of
the City of Hamilton: "The best portion of my life
" lias been spent amongst you, and I can say with
" truth, that duiing this long period my best energies
" have been devoted to the interests of my consti-
" tuents and the honour of my country. If in times of
" trial and great excitement ! have erred, I trust you
" will kindly ascribe it to an error of the head and not
" of tho heart."

Maitland, J. H., Captain. Mr. Maitland was an
old and respected citizen of Montreal, in which city he
for many years represented the Liverpool and London
Fire Assurance Company. His death occurred on the
1st of June 1863, after a long and painful illness.

Merritt, Hon. Wm. Hamilton, was born at West-
chester, N.Y., on the 3rd July, 1793. His father,
Thomas Merritt, a cornet in the " Queen’s Rangers,"
after serving during the American Revolutionary war,
emigrated to New Brunswick, and afterwards to Ca-
nada in 1796. The son was educated at Ancaster,
C.W., and at Windsor College, N.S. He served in the
militia during the war of 1812. In 1815 he married a
daughter of Dr. Prendergast. In 1832 he was returned
to the Parliament of Upper Canada for Haldimand.
and in 1840 for Lincoln. In 1860 he resigned his seat,
and was returned by acclamation to the Legislative
Council for Niagara, lie died on the 6th July, 1862.
Mr. Merritt was the projector of the Welland Canal,
and was also president of the Welland Railway.

Mitchell, Gen. Ormsby Macknight, born in
Kentucky in 1810. He was a cadet at West Point
from 1825 to 1829, and assistant professor of mathema-
tics there till 1831. He then studied law, and practised
for two years in Cincinnati. He became director, of
the Cincinnati Directory, and in 1859 was also appoint-
ed director of the Dudley Observatory at Albany, N.Y.
He rendered great service to astronomy by his scien-
tific labours and discoveries, by popular lectures
throughout the country, and by the publication of two
volumes " Planetary and Stellar Worlds,” and "Pop-
ular Astronomy." After the war began, he became
brigadier-general of volunteers on the northern side,
and was carried off by yellow fever on the 30th Octo-
ber, 1862.

[1864. B. N. A.

Mountain, the Right Rev. G. J., D.D., D.C.L.,
Lord Bishop of Quebec, was born 27th July 1789, at
Norwich, England. At an early age, he came to
Canada with his father, the first Bishop of the English
Church in Canada, but was sent back to be educated
for the Church. Ho studied at Cambridge and gra-
duated at Trinity College in 1810; was ordained Dea-
con in 1812 ; and Triest in 1813. He served after his
ordination in the Cathedral at Quebec : was appointed
Rector of Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1814; and
in 1817 Rector of Quebec. In 1821 he was appointed
Archdeacon, and in 1825 was deputed to go to England
on Church business. After his return lie was made
Examining Chaplain to Bishop Stewart. He again
went to England on matters connected with the CJergy
Reserves in 1835, and while there, on the 14th Feb.
1836, was consecrated Bishop of Montreal. His diocese
at that time comprised the whole of Lower Canada,
Bishop Stewart retaining only Upper Canada; and,
shortly afterwards, he had for a time both Provinces
under his charge, Bishop Stewart having retired. His
diocese therefore stretched from Labrador to the Red
River Settlement ; and he ‘had this extended charge
till 1839, when the present Bishop of Toronto was
appointed. His diocese continued to include the whole
or Lower Canada till 1850, when the present Bishop of
Montreal was appointed. He was noted for his acti-
vity and enei^y. In 1844, he visited the Red River
Settlement. In 1849, he took an active part in assisting
the fever-stricken emigrants at Grosse Isle. He visited
England in 1853, for the purpose of conferring with
the Bishop of Australia on the subject of Synodical
action in Colonial Churches, on which occasion he
received the degree of D.C.L. at Oxford. After a life
spent in works of benevolence, and unflagging atten-
tion to the duties of his sacred office, he died at Quebec,
on the 6th January 1863, at the age of 74. He was an
able man, a ripe scholar, and an earnest Christian. As
an instance of his zeal and activity, it is worthy of
mention that he visited Labrador, in the discharge of
his duties, at the advanced age of 72. He was the
author of a volume of poems, and was also the founder
of Bishop’s College, Lennoxville, and of the Church
Society organizations. His name will deservedly live
in the history of the English Church in Canada, which
he did so much to strengthen and establish.

Mulready, a distinguished painter, died at Linden
Grove, Bayswater, England, on the 7th July 1863, of
long continued disease of the heart. Mr. Mulready
was admitted a member of the Royal academy w hen
only 14 years of age. The Vernon Gallery, as well as
the Royal collection, is rich in examples of his genius.
Deceased was in his 78th year.

Napier, Sir T. E., K.C.B., brother of the late ad-
miral Sir C. Napier, died on the 5th July 1863, in Pol-
ton House, Lapw r ade, in his 73rd year. Deceased en-
tered the army in 1805, served with the 52nd regiment,
at the siege of Copenhagen in 1807, in Sir John Moore’s
campaign in Spain, and throughout the Peninsula,
where he was twice wounded, and lost his left arm.
He was Colonel of the 71st Regiment.

Papin, Joseph, Advocate, Attorney to the Cor-
poration of Montreal, died at l’Assomption on the 23rd
February 1862. Mr. Papin was born at l’Assomption
on the 13th December 1825; elected member or the
Provincial Parliament in 1854, for the county of l’As-
gomption. He enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of
friends. His remains were transferred to the cemetery
on the Cote-des-Neiges road, Montreal, where an ele-
gant monument -was erected to his memory by his
friends. The monument is 23^ feet high, and stands
on a base of 5 feet 2 inches. On the first pedestal is a
large marble slab with an inscription. On the second
iieaestal is engraved a fine crow r n of foliage; above
this is raised a column surmounted by a handsome
urn.

Plimsoll, Reginald John, M.A., B.C.L., was born
in the year 1839. He was educated at the High School,
Montreal, and at McGill College, and received the
degree of B. A. in 1858. He subsequently entered upon
the study of the law, and, in 1861, took the first place
in the graduating class of the law faculty, McGill
College. He was called to the bar in August 1861.
Distinguished by a steady and persevering attention
to his studies, and a fondness for literary pursuits,

Mr. Plimsoll ’8 youth gave fair promise of high attain-
ments and usefulness to society. Unhappily, ho w'ever,
he was attacked by congestion of the brain, and, after
a few r days’ illness, expired on the 25th March 1863, in
the 24th year of his age.

Robinson, Sir John Beverley, Bart.; President,
of the Court of Appeals, U. C., was born at Berthier,
L. C., on the 26th July 1791. His father was fourth in
descent from Christopher Robinson, of Cleasby, York-
shire, England, who came out to America in tne reign
of Charles the Second, as private secretary to Sir
William Berkeley, Governor of Virginia, and became
afterward secretary of that colony. His residence w’aa
Rappahannock, in Virginia, where he died in 1696..
The second son of Christopher Robinson was John
Robinson, Esq., President of the Council of Virginia.
who was born in Virginia. He had several sons, from
one of whom was descended Christopher Robinson,
(the father of Sir John Beverley Robinson,) who was
born in Middlesex County, Virginia, and was sent for
his education to William and Mary College. During
the American Revolution, Mr. Robinson obtained a
commission as Ensign in Colonel Simcoe’s Regiment
of Queen’s Rangers, in which corps he served until
the peace of 1783, when lie emigrated w r ith many other
loyalists to New Brunswick. While there he married
Esther Saver, daughter of the Rev. John Sayer.
About 1788, Mr. Robinson w r cnt with his family to-
Lower Canada, and settled at L’Assomption, and
afterwards removed to Berthier, where his second son,,
the late Sir John Beverley Robinson, was born. In
1791, Mr. Robinson’s former commanding officer, Col.
Simcoe, then a Major General, came out from England
as the first Governor of Upper Canada. He induced
Mr. Robinson to remove to that Province, and in 1792
he went to Kingston, where he lived for six years.
He was called to the bar in Upper Canada, and was
one of the first Benchers chosen by the Law r Society.
He was elected a member of the House of Assembly
for the counties of Lennox and Addington in 17%.
He continued to practise the profession of the law’ in
Kingston until October 1798, when lie removed with
his family to Toronto. On the 2d of November of the-
same year he died after a short illness, having suffered
from the gout for many years. The father of the late
Rev. Archdeacon Stuart, being then about to attend
the meeting of Parliament, toox John Beverley with
him to Kingston, and placed him under the tuition of
Mr. Strachan, now Bishop of Toronto. He remained
for some time in Kingston, and then removed with his
preceptor to Cornwall. At the age of sixteen young
Robinson commenced the study or the law under the
Hon. D’Arcy Boulton, then Solicitor General and
acting Attorney General . While still a student-at-law,
he served one session in the House of Assembly as
clerk. In 1810 Mr. Boulton sailed for England, but he
had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by a French
privateer on the passage. When the news of this
disaster reached Toronto, young Robinson found itr
necessary to article himself to some other lawyer in
order to complete his studies. He selected Mr.
McDonald who succeeded Mr. Boulton in the Attorney
Generalship. But he was not long allowed to remain
in quiet. In 1812 the war with the United States broke-
out, and faithful to the Crown, with a lieutenant’s
commission in a regiment of York militia, commanded
by Colonel Allan, (father of the present Hon. G. Wi
Allan) he followed Sir Isaac Brock to the field. He
shared in the glory, danger, and privations of the cap-
ture of Detroit, and took part in the fighting by which
the victory at Queenston Heights w r as gained. At this
latter place Attorney-General Macdonald, who served
as aide-de-camp to Gen. Brock, was killed. Lieut.
Robinson, more fortunate, escaped unwounded, and
immediately after the action was despatched with some-
prisoners to Kingston. Upon his return to Toronto,
he was congratulated by a number of friends on his
appointment to the Attorney-Generalship of the Pro-
vince. He had not then been called to the bar; but
he discharged the duties which devolved upon him
with great assiduity, and had the good fortune ta
satisfy those by whom he was employed. In 1815
however, Mr. Boulton having made his way to Canada
was reinstalled in his position as Attorney-General;
Mr. Robinson taking that of Solicitor-General. This
arrangement lasted until 1818, when Mr. Boulton was
elevated to the Bench, and Mr. Robinson again became-

Attorney General . I n this post he remained until 1829.
In the year 1821 he entered the House of Assembly and
became the leader of the Tories.and was a firm supporter
of the “ Family Compact.” In 1829, he was appointed
to the office of Chief Justice of Upper Canada, on the
retirement of Sir Wm. Campbell. By virtue of his
office he was Speaker of the Legislative and President
of the Executive Council, and continued to take an
active part in political affairs. This combination of
legislative and judicial duties created much dissatis-
faction, but was terminated in 1841, when the Judges
were excluded from the Council. From this time his
popularity increased, and the honor of a baronetcy
conferred upon him in 1854 met with general approval.
In 1862, he was led, by his increasing infirmities, to
resign the office of Chief Justice of the Queen’s Bench.
He died on the 31st January 1863, at the age of 71.
His long experience, and the share he had taken in
framing the laws of Canada, caused his decisions to
be received with the greatest confidence. It is remark-
able that he never appeared at the bar as the advocate
of a prisoner, but always as the prosecutor for the
Crown. His legal attainments were indisputably of
the highest order, his judgments were always logical ;
his diction was clear, and nis delivery fluent. Though
his political principles atone time rendered him unpop-
ular, yet the subsequent impartial and careful dis-
charge of his judicial duties earned general respect,
while his kind and benevolent disposition endeared
him to a large circle of acquaintances.

Sheepshanks, JonN, owner of the famous collec-
tion of pictures, known as the Sheepshanks Gallery,
which he presented to the nation during his lifetime,
died on Monday, 6th Oct. 1863, aged 76. He was the
son of a wealthy cloth manufacturer at Leeds, and suc-
ceeded his father in the business. He was long known
as a collector of choice pictures, and in Dec. 1856, pre-
sented to the English nation the w hole of his splendid
collection of drawings and paintings, for the purpose
of public instruction in art. The collection, valued at
$300,000, was removed to South Kensington early in
1857.

Slade, Sir Frederick, was on the Western Cir-
cuit, (England) between thirty and forty years. He
went through the usual gradations of the profession,
and became a most successful defender of prisoners.
As time rolled on ho emerged from the criminal into
the civil court, and was then called within the bar as
a Q. C. His peculiar style was that of honesty and
openness, accompanied by great humour, which soon
gained him considerable practice. He was a zealous
and untiring advocate, and greatly incensed when he
discovered anything dishonest or disreputable, sparing
not the highest in his remarks in the discharge of his
duties. His sincerity, good nature and jocularity, had
gained for him the love and regard of his compeers,
and no man stood higher at the oar in the esteem and
respect of those who occupied the bench, many of
whom had in their time laboured with him. He died
suddenly, in 1863. He had conducted a case the pre-
vious day in the Nisi Prius Court, at Wells, with his
usual vigor and ability. In the evening, he retired to
his country seat at Maunsell, near Bridgewater, in
apparent health, but the following day he complained
of being unwell, and expired about *11 o’clock in the
evening.

Sumner, John Bird, Archbishop of Canterbury'.
Born 1780. Educated at Cambridge. Appointed to
the archbishopric in 1848. He w r as the author of seve-
ral theological treatises, and a firm opponent of the
tractarian party. Died 6th September 1862.

Trollope Mrs. Frances, widow of Thos. A. Trol-
lope, barrister-at law, died at Florence on the 6th Oct.
1863, aged 84. She was born at Heckfield, Hants, in
1779. Mrs. Trollope’s first appearance as an authoress
was in her account of America, in which her descrip-
tion of the social habits of the people gave great offence.
The comic element of Mrs. Trollope’s nature had full
--play in this work with the odd expressions, the absurd

vulgarity and the upstart impudence of some among the
low'er orders. The anger or the Americans was great :
one reviewer called Airs. T. “an unsexed creature.”
She afterw ards entered upon a long and tolerably suc-
cesful career of authorship, and her literary activity was
continued down to the year 1856, when she published
“Fashionable Life in Paris and London.” One of her
sons, Anthony Trollope, has acquired considerable
fame as a novelist.

. Whately, Dr., Archbi’p of Dublin, died Oct. 8, 1863,
in the 77th year of his age. He was appointed arch-
bishop of Dublin by Earl Grey in 1831, on the death of
Archbishop Magee. For a long time the new Arch-
bishop was an object of dislike and suspicion to the
majority of his clergy on account of w r hat they regarded
as his heterodox views respecting the law of the sab-
bath, the inspiration of the authorized version of the
Bible, the anthority of the Athanasian Creed, and
other matters. But, not heeding personal attacks, he
set to work with great earnestness in combating and
refuting the errors that prevailed around him. He
w T as indefatigable in his efforts to advance what he
believed to be the truth, and to free the Protestant
religion in Ireland from the odium brought upon
it by the spirit of intolerance. Archbishop Whately
was appointed one of the first Commissioners of Na-
tional Education in Ireland. He was constant in his
attendance at the meetings of the Board, a frequent
visitor at its model schools, and an anxious observer
of the system. His pen was ever ready to repel the
attacks made upon it. In his addresses at public
meetings, in the charges to his clergy, and in numerous
pamphlets, he defended its principles, and exposed
the misrepresentations of its opponents with a power
of reasoning that nothing could withstand. His
works on Logic, Rhetoric, and other subjects, are well
known, and extensively used in schools and colleges.
He also composed several manuals of instruction for
the use of schools, on “Money Matters,” on “ Rea-
soning,” on the “Evidences of Christianity,” and on
the “British Constitution,” in which he displayed his
extraordinary capacity for rendering profound truths
intelligible to the young. His manly independence,
his liberal views, and his scrupulous impartiality se-
cured the entire confidence of the Roman Catholic
members of the Board. He retired from the Board
of Education soon after the appointment of Arch-
bishop Cullen. His liberality in assisting the desti-
tute families of clergymen, and others, especially
during the tithe war and the famine years, was un-
exampled in Ireland, except in the case of the late
Lord Rrimate, Avhose great wealth enabled him to
surpass every one in princely munificence. The Arch-
bishop of Dublin’s income consisted almost entirely of
the revenues of his diocese, and it may be truly said
that according to his means his bounty w r as unparal-
elled, and that in his character he presented the rare
combinations of great intellectual pow r er, profound
learning, and extraordinary public spirit, with an
extremely kind and sympathetic heart. II is generosity,
however, was not impulsive, but well regulated
and discriminating. He once boasted in the House
of Lords that there was one thing with which he
could not reproach himself, he had never relieved a
mendicant in the streets. He took care so to admin-
ister relief, as not to encourage idleness and vice.
When he gave away considerable sums of money to
relieve deserving persons in temporary difficulties lie
was accustomed to get them to sign a document promis-
ing to repay the amount, whenever they were able, to
persons similarly circumstanced. Among the monu-
ments of his liberality which he left behind him is the
Whately Professorship of Political Economy, which he
endowed in the Dublin University. He had one son,
a clergyman. His wife died 25th April 1860.

Walker, Hon. William, M. L. C.— Mr. Walker, a
leading merchant of the city of Quebec, came out to
Canada in 1816. For many years lie was a member of
the Legislative Council, Canada, and generally res-
pected and esteemed. He died in May 1863.

Y

From the Montreal Gazette of October 23, 18G3.

Mr. Lovell’s School Books.

We find in the Halifax Morning Journal of October 12th
the short article which we subjoin. We are glad to notice
the statements contained in it. They prove that the labors of
our enterprising Montreal publisher are appreciated as they
deserve to be in the Sister Provinces :

“ On Thursday last, Mr. McGkath, the intelligent Agent
“ of Lovell, the great publisher of Montreal, Canada, ap-
“ peared before the Provincial Teachers’ Association, then in
“ session at Windsor, for the purpose of explaining the ad-
“ vantages possessed by the series of Lovell’s School Books
“ over those now in use in the Provinces ; which he did in so
“ clear, concise, and able a manner, that a vote of thanks to
“ him was proposed and passed by the assembled Teachers.
“ A Committee has been appointed to prepare a list of school
“ books for general use, to be submitted to Rev. Dr. Forrester,
“ Superintendent of Education, for approval; to be again
“ approved of by the Legislature ; and from a cursory
“ examination of Lovell’s Series, we hope to see a large portion
“ of it officially authorized for general use in the schools of
“ our Province.”

LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS.

H AVING long felt the necessity existing for a SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL
WORKS, prepared and expressly adapted for our COLONIAL SCHOOLS,
the Publisher was induced to attempt the supply of this want. His efforts thus
far have been crowned with success ; his books having been most generally
welcomed in the Schools, and most favorably noticed by the Press, of British
North America.

LOVELL S GENERAL GEOGRAPHY has met with entire success,
having been already introduced into almost every School throughout British
North America. The General Geography, however, being considered too far
advanced for young beginners , a new and elementary work has been prepared,
entitled, EASY LESSONS IN GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. This book is
intended as introductory to the General Geography; and a reference to the
accompanying “ Opinions ” will show how fully it meets the object aimed at.

He takes great pleasure in calling attention to the following list of the
SCHOOL BOOKS already issued by him ; and to which he will add, from time
to time, such new works as may be of use to the youth of the Provinces.

selected, and, for a text-book, surprisingly full and
complete . — Bishop of Toronto .

be eminently useful in the schools of the province.—

Geographies now used . — Bishop of Ontario.

I think Mr. Hodgins will be admitted to have exe-
cuted his part with much judgment and ability, and
that, the work will give general satisfaction . — Chief Jus-
tice Robinson.

The system Mr. Hodgins has adopted is one which, of
all others, is altogether efficient, and no doubt condu-
cive to a clear, easy, and practical teaching of Geogra-
phy .— Judge Monaelet.

The book is one which is worthy of Canada, and,
both as a scientific production as well as a work of art,
is deserving of all praise . — Judge Aylwin.

I am persuaded it will be found to be extremely
useful, not only to our youth, but to ourselves, children
of larger growth .— fudge Badgley.

I think the work a very important one as a standard

tion in schools and private families . — Archdeacon »GxU-
son.

We are conscious that we shall be consulting tile beet*
interests of the schools of the Society by endeavouring,
to introduce the book into every part of our charga.*?-

Church and School Society ; and the Superintendent:
for the Diocese of Montreal .

I shall be most happy to recommend it to the schools*
in my superintendency, as well as to heads qf families,
and hope it will be patronized as extensively as- it
deserves. — Re v. J. Gilbert Ai'mstrong.

The style in which it lias been got up and theTowness.
of the price, cannot fail to recommend it as a texf>«6ook:
fer the use of .Schools.— Reo. Dr. Mathieson .

[1864. b. jst. a.

It contains ail immense amount of information, and
yet the style and arrangement are so natural and easy
as to prevent any appearance of tediousness and dry-
ness, and greatly to aid the memory.— Rev. Wellington
Jeffers.

When it comes to be known by the public, I should
think it must command a very extensive, if not univer-
sal, circulation in the schools of British North America
— Rev. John Cordner.

I confidently anticipate for this and your other school
books that large demand that will indicate the high
appreciation ot the profession.— Rev. Dr. Wilkes .

Your Geography is, without question, greatly in
advance of all others that have yet been presented, for
public use in this country.— lieu. A. F. Kemp.

I have no hesitation in pronouncing it superior to
any work of the same character and size extant.— Rev.
Dr. Wood.

Mr. [lodging has displayed much ability in his work.
It is brief but comprehensive : " without overflowing,
full." — Rev. Dr. Shortt.

Your work on Geography supplies a want which
teachers have long felt and complained of. — Rev. Dr.
Leach.

A most excellent, and in all respects, suitable school
book.— Rev. Dr. Irvine.

Such portions as I have paid particular attention to
appear to me to be very accurate.— Rev. W. Snodgrass.

It will become a necessity in our seminaries of edu-
cation. — Rev. Dr. Bancroft.

The work under review seems to merit the highest
commendation.— Rev. J. Ellegood.

The plan and manner of execution are both admir-
able. — Rev. W. Scott.

No existing work can be held to excel it —Rev A
de Sola.

This Geography— without controversy the best yet
given to the British American public— will do much
toward exalting the popular estimate of this brauch of
study, and fostering the patriotism and loyalty of our
people. — Rev. A. Camnan.

It is most gratifying that Canada is not only prepar-
ing her own school books, but that, as in the case ot
the Geography , they are of so high an order of merit.
—Rev. S. D. Rice.

It is much more suitable for the use of our Canadian
youths than Morse’s and other similar Geographies —
Rev. Henry Patton. 6 1

A boon much needed and well-timed — calculated at
once to save the minds of our youth from improper
associations, and to lead them to* cherish national and
patriotic teelings. — Rev. Dr. Urquhart.

The plan is most excellent, inasmuch as it contains
multum in parvo, and brings into one view an immense
mass of useful information, abridging the labors both
ot teacher and taught in no ordinary degree.— Rev
David Black.

I am much pleased with the plan and style of the
woik It cannot, fail of being useful in the schools for
which it is intended.— Rev. J. Goadby.

The fairness and impartiality with which the different
countries are described, will commend it to general
use. — Rev. E. J. Rogers.

It seems tome just* what is needed, suited to the
requirements of the country in its matter, form, and
price.— Rev. J. B. Bonar.

I think the publication of the work ought to be
regarded as a matter of sincere congratulation to the
cur li try at large.— Rev. W. S. Darling.

Where all is excellent it is diflicult to particularize
but 1 may state that I consider the introductory part
deserving of especial commendation.— Rev. Dr. Brooke.

The classification appears to be faultless, the defini-
tions .concise and lucid, and the information given in
regard to the derivation and pronunciation of proper
names is very valuable. It is indeed multum in parvo
and .will doubtless become the standard Geoirranhv of
eur schools.— Rev. I. B. Howard. M 1 y

It is certainly the best and most impartial Geogra-
phy lor the uso of schools which, to my knowledge,
has issued from the press on the North American con-
tinent, and will, I trust, receive from the public all the
encouragement it so eminently deserves.— Rev. Dr.
Adamson.

The work is well adapted to meet the requirements
of the schools in our own province, and will do good
service should it find a place in the schools of other
lands.— Rev. William Ormiston, D.D.

H will, no doubt, become a valuable national work,
and take its place as a standard book in our schools.—
Mrs. Susanna A foodie.

I am really delighted that at last a School Geography
almost perfect, is provided for the youth of the British
North American provinces.— /&?;. John Cairy.

; Y ou r vGeography is all that can be desired, and after
a thorough examination, I am convinced that, from
uts .merits, it will at once be adopted in all our schools
It is a marvel of cheapness, admirable in plan and a
fine specimen of what can be done bv an enterprising
.and Irbecal publisher. We shall at once introduce it
into, on r school, as its want has been long felt —Rev
H J. Borthwick, Principal of the County of Carleton
.6 esuor Grammar School.

The plan of your school Geography is excellent.-
;Rev. Dr. Leitch, Principal of Queen’s College.

So faros I can judge, "Lovell’s General Geography"
is well adapted to our Canadian Schools .— Rev A J
Parker. ' * *

I, hail it; as the best Geography extant for our Cana-
dian schools. I can give no better proof of my appre-
. ciation fits merits, than by introducing it immediately
as the standard text-book in our Academy. — J. I)oua-

The plan is excellent, and answers all the require-
ments ot an intelligent work on the subject. — Mrs.
Simpson, Principal of Ladies' Academy, 4 Inlcerman
Terrace, Montreal.

In issuing your new work you have supplied the
schools with a valuable auxiliary for conducting the
education ot our youth. — Mrs. E. H. Lai , , Principal of
Young Ladies' Institute, Beavei' Hall, Montreal

I rise from its perusal convinced that I shall be able
u> use it in my seminary with considerable advantage
to all concerned. — Mrs. Gordon , Principal of Ladies'
Seminary, 5 Argyle Terrace, Montreal.

I have carefully examined the advance sheets of
your General Geography," which I think is a great
improvement over any other book of the kind now
used in Canada. — Hon. John Young.

I have never seen one arrangod upon a better system,
or more profusely and judiciously illustrated.— Thos.

C. Keefer.

Its complete description of the British colonies fills a
vacuum not supplied heretofore by either foreign or
British Geographies; while the style in which it is got
up. and its low price, cannot fail to recommend it for
general purposes.— Hon. A. A. Dorian, M P P

Not only to the Canadian student will it prove a boon,
but it will be found useful and entertaining every-
where. — Wolf red Nelson , M.D.

It is a work well calculated to attain the end which
you have in view, and will undoubtedly prove invalua-
ble as a text-book in the hands of our Canadian youth.
—J.B. Meilleur, M.D., LL.D., •Ex- Superintendent of
Education for Lower Canada.

I have much pleasure in saying that 1 conceive it
to be compiled with much care and judgment; at the
same time the admirable engravings and maps add
greatly to its value, and make it in my opinion the best
school Geography I have ever met with. — T. Sterry
Hunt , M.A., LL.D., F.R.S.

As regards the manner in which the different sub
jects have been treated, I consider it all that can be
desired. — Archibald Hall, M.D . , L.R.C.S.E.

The' editorial department has been carried out with
a talent and perseverance worthy of the highest en-
comiums, and has left nothing to’ be desired. As an
educational book of the first class, I feel confident
that it will supersede any work on the same subject at
present in use. — Charles Smallwood , M.D., LL.D .

I believe that the Geography will prove a boon to
the country, and will have a most happy effect in train-
ing the youth of the British provinces to right views
of the great extent of their country, and of the variety
of its resources, and will largely contribute to the de-
velopment of a national sentiment.— Alexander Morris,
M.P.P.

I trust that the enterprise and zeal which you have
shown in thus providing a work more particularly
adapted to the Canadian stand-point, though by no
means confined to it, will meet with the success that it
merits. — Colonel Wilmot.

Mr. Hodgins and you have, in this volume, made a
very valuable addition to our series of school books,
and I have no doubt that your enterprise will be appre-
ciated by every friend of education.— Benjamin Work -
man , M.D.

A mon avis il devra surpasser l’attentetant dans son
ensemble que dans ses details, de ceux qui d^siraient
voir remplir la lacuno qui existait pour fa langue an-
glaise au moins, dans les livres k l’usage des Ccoles. —
Etienne Parent, Assistant Provincial Secretary East.

J’y ai admird 1'ordre et Parrangcment des matieres
comme de leurs lucidcs et classiques dispositions, qui
accusent de savantes recherches et d'heurcuses combi-
naison8. — Joseph G. Barthe.

Je no hasardc rien, en disant qu’il n'y a pas, en geo-
graphic de volume qui pour un prix aussi modique,
offre la reunion d’un aussi grand nombre de actions
pratiques. — P. R. Lafrenaye.

I think your Geography better adapted for schools
than any one I have seen used in the province, and
trust you may succeed in getting it generally intro-
duced. — Andrew Robertson.

The sections relating to the North American pro-
vinces are peculiarly valuable, on account of their fur-
nishing, in a condensed form, authentic particulars
hitherto not to be found in any school Geography.—
Alpheus Todd, Librarian to the Legislative Assembly.

I cannot wish you better success than your excellent
work so richly merits; and I trust the people of
Canada, at least, will show their appreciation of it by
its general adoption. — IXmbar Ross.

It was high time we should have a school Geography
which would give due prominence to our own and the
sister colonics, as yours does.— Hon. Thomas D’Arcy
McGee, M.P.P.

It is just what I have been hoping to see in Canada
for many vears; and I hope its general adoption in the
schools of both sections of the province will remune-
rate you for your outlay in getting it up.— John S.
Sanborn.

It seems to me to be a very excellent school book,
and just what we wanted to make us independent as to
the American Geographies. — G. W. Wicksteed, Law
Clerk, Legislative Assembly.

A great improvement upon the books on the same
subject now generally used in this province.— Frede-
rick Griffin, Q.C.

Destined very shortly to supersede most of the Geo-
graphies now in use in British North America. — T. A.
Gibson, First Assistant Master , High School, Montreal.

Such a work has long been needed in this country. —
Professor Hicks, McGill Normal School.

It is an excellent work, and I have no doubt will
soon supersede all other Geographies in the schools of
Canada .— Charles Nichols, L.R.C.P., Principal of Col-
legiate School.

Its general plan is good. — Dr. Lawson, Queen's Col-
lege, Kingston.

Having looked over the American part of Lovell’s
General Geography, I consider it better adapted for
our colonial schools than any Geography now in use.
— John Connor, Principal Niagara Common School.

I am delighted to find that such a work is in an ad-
vanced state, aud, to show my entire approbation of
the work, I shall be ready on its publication, if autho-
rized by the Board ot Council of Education, to take at
least 30 copies, thus supplying each boy in the Grammar
School under my charge with a copy. — H. N. Phillips,
Principal, Niagara Senior County Grammar School.

I feel sure its use in our schools will be acceptable to
the teachers, and beneficial to the pupils . — John Simp-
son, M.P.P.

I have no hesitation in saying that the work must
come into general use in our Schools. — William Tassie,
M. A., Principal of the Galt Grammar School.

The prominence given to our own country is a feature
that specially commends it for use in Canadian schools.
— Rot us Parmalee, Inspector qf Schools in the Eastern
Townships,

It represents immense labour loyally bestowed, and
high aims patriotically advanced. Yve must cherish
and appreciate a work which has been so carefully
adapted to our tastes, and suited to our wants.— Fen-
nings Taylor, Clerk Assistant, Legislative Council .

The whole work is marked by learning, ability, and
taste.— Archibald Macallum, Principal of the Hamilton
Centred School.

I have great pleasure in assuring you that in my hum-
ble judgment, your General Geography appears to be
so judicious in its arrangements and order, so lucid in
its definitions and descriptions,— combining copious-
ness of information with brevity aud simplicity, yet
clearness and even elegance of expression,— that I
cannot for a moment doubt that the work in question
will prove of the greatest utility in our schools.— A. S.
M. Bouchette.

I have no hesitation in saying that I think the work
an excellent one, both in plan, and execution, and well
fitted to supply a place which I have understood to be
void among school books . — Thomas M. Taylor.

I have much pleasure in stating that I have never
seen a work better adapted for the use of educational
intitutions .— Richard Nettle, Superintendent of Fishe-
ries for Lower Canada.

I feel much interested in its appearance, and I
accord to it my unqualified approbation.— John Smith,
Head Master of the High School, St. John, C. E.

That your General Geography, with maps and illus-
trations, will have the tendency to advance tho impor-
tant objects which it proposes is unquestionable. It
is intelligent, practical, and highly interesting.— Thos.

Worthington.

Extracts from Opinions of the Canadian Press on Lovell’s General Geography.

V'e have now a Geography whence our young
people will acquire a correct idea of the country they
live in, and which will assert in the face of the
world our right to consideration and respect. —
Montreal Herald.

We think Mr. Hodgins has succeeded in compiling
a Geography, which is not only a great improvement
on all that have been hitherto in use in our schools,
but is as nearly perfect as is possible in a Geography
lor general us a. —Montreal Gazette.

There is, with respect to every portion of the Globe,
a mass ot information, collected in a form so com-
pressed and yet so full, as really seems incomprehen-
sible.— Montreal Transcript.

This is the most important work which has yet issued
Irom the Canadian Press, as it is the best.— Commercial
Advertiser, Montreal.

i his is a very valuable work, which we warmly
commend to the notice of teachers and all persons en-
gaged m the task of education.— True Witness, Mont-
real.

C’est, croyons-nous, la Geographic la plus complete
que nous ayons eue jusqu’ici; nous nous permettrons
done de la recommander fortement aux maisons
d Education. — L'Ordre, Montreal.

We have no hesitation in pronouncing it, in every
respect, the best Geography for Schools that we have
yet seen. It must come into universal use in Canada,
and therefore the sooner it is introduced into schools
the better.— Christian Guardian, Toronto.

Ro work of the kind could be more complete.—

Toronto Daily Leader.

Wo are very much pleased with this work, which
we have examined carefully. The maps are accurate
and well engraved, the typography is excellent, and
the whole execution of the work highly creditable to
Canadian enterprise.— Canadian United Presbyterian
Magazine , Toronto.

Highly creditable to Canadian enterprise, it con-
tains a vast amount of information suitable to a
Genera! Geography; while it has no rival in the de-
tailed and accurate knowledge it affords of the extent
and resources of the British American provinces. —
Canadian Independent , Toronto.

We consider this Geography far superior, especially
lor Canadian schools, in many respects, to any similar
work heretofore available to the public in this country,
and we are surprised to see it sold for only one dollar.
—Canadian Agriculturist, Toronto.

Merely to say that Mr. Hodgins, the able and accom-
plished author of the volume, has executed his work
well, is, we think, but paying him a poor compliment.
He has undertaken and discharged a duty which we
think few could have achieved with equal success. —
British American Journal, Montreal.

This work supplies a want long felt in our schools.
As a manual of Geography it seems to leavo nothin"
further to bo desired.— Echo, Montreal.

We tliink the rising generation in these provinces
should have a geographical text-book for themselves,
giving a true history and correct description compati-
ble with their political and social importance, and
such a text-book we have in that now before us —
Canada 'Temperance Advocate, Montreal.

It is correct and most explicit with regard to every
portion of the Globe.— Hamilton Daily Spectator.

e have carefully examined the contents, and can
safely recommend it to the favorable consideration of
the public as a very valuable addition to Canadian
school books. — Toronto Evening Journal.

The introductory chapter, on Mathematical, Thysi-
cal, and 1 olitical Geography, is a manual of concise
simplicity, which will at the outset enlist the approba-
tion of the thinking teacher.— Home Journal, Toronto.

It ?is exceedingly well got up.— Kingston Daily
British Whig.

In Canada, we feel assured, it will find its way into

“Lovell’s General Geography” is the very thing that
is required for our schools— most ably and correct ly got
up, handsomely printed, and, in a national point of
view, it is a boon to the country. — Herald and Adver-
tiser, Kingston.

It is a valuable contribution to the cause of educa-
tion. — London Daily Free Press.

We trust to see it adopted in our schools, in prefer-
ence to,, those generally imported from the United
States. — Daily Prototype, London.

To Canadians this is an invaluable work, as it is the
only Geography that has ever done justice to Canada
and the other British Provinces. — Belleville Intelli-

One of the most useflil works ever issued from the
Canadian press. — Ottawa Gazette.

We rejoice in the appearance of this new and excel-

It is the most complete and interesting work of the

We have no hesitation in recommending it to the

We hope that it may, as soon as practicable, be
adopted uniformly in all our schools. — Hastings

We feel warranted in extending to it the fullest
recommendation. We hope to see this new work at
once introduced into all our schools.— Peterborough
Review.

We heartily commend the book to those engaged in
education, and hopo that the Council of Public In-
struction will authorize it to be used as a text-book in
our public schools. — Freeholder, Cornwall.

We can at once pronounce the Geography the most
correct — certainly the best adapted for school use—
we have ever seen ; and we hope soon to ?e a it on every
school desk in the country.— Examiner, Peterborough.

We unhesitatingly pronounce it the best for the use
of Canadian schools. We hope to see this work well
patronized.— Port Hope Messenger.

We have examined it carefully, and find that it is
superior to any Geography now in us e.— Perth Courier.

Mr. Lovell has conferred upon the people of British

see introduced into every school in Canada. — Richmond

Tho work is certainly one of inestimable value.—
Whitby Press.

No other Geography contains such a store of infor-
mation respecting the British North American pos-
sessions, and none other does equal justice to the ter-
ritorial extent and boundaries of the united provinces
of Upper and Lower Canada.— Huntingdon Herald.

Altogether we consider this Geography one of tho
best extant, and hope it will soon supersede, in the
schools throughout the Province, the use of all similar
publications. — Advertiser, Waterloo.

Mr. Lovell has done much towards advancing the
educational interests of the country, but we question
whether any of his former efforts equals this one in
importance or excellence. We sincerely hope this
work will be introduced into all our schools at an early
day. — Eastern Townships Gazette, Granby.

It is full of valuable infownation, is beautifully
printed, elegantly illustrated, and is well worth the
small price claimed for it,— one dollar. — Niagara Mail.

It ought to have the patronage of all the Boards of
Education; and thousands of adults would receive a
great amount of instruction by obtaining a copv. As
a book of reference it is invaluable. — Windsor Herald.

Whiloit by no means neglects the Geography of the
other countries of the world, that of Canada occupies
tho most prominent position. — Paris Star.

After a caroful inspection of this Canadian work, we
unhesitatingly pronounce it to be a valuable boon con-
ferred upon the youth of the British American Pro-
vinces.— Constitution, Fergus.

Its plan and arrangement are both admirable, and,
while it has the recommendation of brevity, it is a lull
and complete geographical work. In these respects,
as well as in mechanical execution and literary ability,
it excels all works of tho kind hitherto produced. —
Whitby Chronicle.

It is the most valuable and comprehensive work of
the kind, for the use of schools, that could be put into
the hands of our students. It must at once become a
standard school book. — Whitby Watchman.

Mr. Hodgins has conferred no small boon on the

f - outh of the British American provinces, by the publ-
ication of this very excellent school manual of Geogra-
phy. Wo cannot doubt but Lovell’s Geography will
speedily supersede Morse’s in all our public schools. —
Guelgli Herald.

It appears, fVom the opportunity w© havo had of
examining it, to be the result of a great deal of labor
and expense. We trust the enterprising publisher will
receive that cordial support to which the morit of his
publication entitles him. — Guelph Advertiser.

It is with no small pride wo announce the fact that a
General Geography of the World with a fair proportion
of its contents devoted to a description of Canada, has
been published. It beoomes the duty of those at tho
liead of our educational concerns— superintendents,
teachers and trustees — to encourage this new work. —

[1864. B. N. A

This is a Canadian work, and is published in a stylo
which would do no discredit to the first nations of the
world.— Dumfries Reformer, Galt.

We hope to see this Geography introduced into our
common schools, and generally adopted by eachcrs
and instructors in the Canadas.— Berlin Tele /, aph.

It is really a credit to the province. We feel sure
that our teachers, and others having charge of schools,
'will cause it to be used almost exclusively in the educa-
tional establishments of the country. — Evening Journal,

Heretofore Canadian children have been compelled
to study a foreign Geography, in which our noble coun-
try was not represented as it is, so minutely and truth-
tully, in the work before us.— York Herald, Richmond
Hill

Air. Hodgins’ work is free from dwarfing the interests
of any people, but large attention is given where most
needed, to Canada and the sister colonies. — Argus,
Chatham.

It meets a want which nothing has hitherto supplied,
and we are convinced that it wifi work its w ay into the
houses as well as the schools of our land. — Weekly
Dispatch, St. Thomas.

This is a very beautiful and useful Geography, just
issued at the low price of one dollar. — Grand River
Sachem, Caledonia.

We may safely predict its being adopted as a text-
book in all the schools and colleges throughout the
province. — Gananoque Reporter .

It is the best Geography published, and we can con-

of schools in Canada. — Maple Leaf, Sandwich.

It is the best, publication of the kind ever issued. —
Omemee Warder.

We highly commend this Geography, being excellent
beyond all competitors. — Cayuga Setilinel.

Canadian art, we must congratulate the Publisher on
this very onportune and praiseworthy donation to the
teachers of youth in Canada. — British Flag, Brighton.

The explanatory and descriptive matter is of the most
useful and comprehensive order. — Welland Reporter,

youth can understand the geography of his country
without having studied “Lovell’s General Geography.”
— Woodstock Sentinel.

As a complete Geography and Atlas, this new w r ork
is superior to any other extant, and is just what is very
necessary in our Canadian schools, into which we hope
to see it at once introduced.— Perth Standard, St.
Mary’s.

It is in every respect a most excellent elementary
work, and admirably adapted for the use of schools,
and we hope to sec it universally adopted as the school
Geography of Canada.— Brampton Times.

It begins, as it ought to do, with Canada, and is. in
matter, illustration, execution and general comeliness, a
credit to the country.— Norfolk Messenger, Simcoe.

This excellent book, which is creditable to any print-
ing establishment, is well adapted to the use ol our Can-
adian schools. — Markham Economist.

We are fully convinced that it will prove to be of
great utility in our schools. Itsh<*ild be highly prized
by Canadians, not only because it is a Canadian work,
but because, in addition to its giving a satisfactory
knowledge of all parts of the world, it gives a fair por-
tion of prominence to the British colonies.— Brantford
Courier.

In every feature of this work is exhibited accuracy
and fairness; and we pronounce it the most valuable
book that ever issued from a Canadian press —an hon-
our to its author, and creditable to its publisher.— Galt
Reporter.

This is one of the best works on General Geography
that has been issued from the press. We hope to see
it used as a text-book in all our schools. — Ayr Observer.

It has come in good time, for there is no school book
more needed than a Canadian Geography. We cheer-
fully recommend it to school trustees, and hope they
will immediately take measures to have it introduced
into the common schools.— People’s Press, Fonthill.

It is infinitely better suited to supply the requirements
of Canadian youth than any American publication of
the kind. W e have no doubt it will soon be generally
adopted for use in our public schools.— Expositor,
Brantford.

A much larger space is gevoted to Canada than in
any Geography now belore the people.— New Era,
Newmarket.

Mr. Lovell’s endeavors to produce a Geography that
would contain all the information which could possibly
be desired, has, w r e think, been entirely successful. —
Picton Gazette.

Our magnificentprovinces, which in American Geog-
raphies are generally passed over as if merely a speck
on the continent, have for the first time received due
prominence. — True Banner, Dundas.

To thoso engaged in educational pursuits, wo com-
mend “Lovell’s General Geography.” — Northern Ad-
vance, Barrie.

We doubt not Mr. Lovell’s exertions will be duly
appreciated, and that the work will soon be introduced
into our schools.— Napanee Standard.

The work is one of high excellence, and we trust will
be adopted as a standard in all educational institutions
in our country. It ought to have a place in every house
in Canada.— Carleton Place Journal.

The work is very ably edited and exceedingly well
got up. — Spirit of the Age, Barrie.

W r e have great pleasure in hailing the appearance of
this new work .—lngersoll Chronicle.

Its merits are many, and its claims on Canadian pat-
ronage are imperative.— Huron Signal, Goderich.

It is very neatly and correctly executod, giving
sufficient importance to this portion of Her Majesty’s

secure for Lovell’s Geographv a place in every school
in the Province.— Shannonville Advertiser.

CITY OF HALIFAX, N. 8.

Extracts from Opinions of the Nova Scotia Press on Lovell’s General Geography.

This work supplies a want which has been long and
seriously felt in all of our British American schools.
We can with perfect confidence recommend this book
to teachers and heads ot families throughout these
North American colonies, as, without exception, the
very first work of its class which they can place in their
children’s hands; and we hope that it will immediately
come into general use . — Acadian Recorder , Halifax,

The remark often made that the geography of other
countries is better known by the youth of Nova Scotia
than that of their own province, need be no longer a
fact. We shall be glad to know that the work has
come into general use in the schools of this province. —
Christian Messenger, Halifax, N.

Its plan and arrangement are admirable, and in me-
chanical execution and literary ability it excels. Mr.
Lovell, the enterprising publisher of Montreal, de-
serves all praise for producing a work of so much
value to the youth of British America . — Morning Chro-
nicle, Halifax, N. S.

Mr. Hodgins, the author, has given to each country
its due, and his labors are likely to meet with their
reward . — Morning Sun, Halifax, N. S.

We have received a copy of this valuable publica-
tion. Instead of any recommendation of our own, we
believe the public will be glad to see the following
from the Superintendent of Education :—

“Truro, August 15, 1861.

“I have examined Lovell’s General Geography with
some care and much satisfaction. Along with a large
amount of historical, statistical, and scientific infor-
mation on General Geography, presented in the most
attractive form by means of maps and wood-cut illus-
trations, it seems to me to give a proper relative posi-
tion to the British colonies in North America, — a griev-
ous defect in Morse’s and other similar publications.

“ Altogether, I have no hesitation in recommending
it as the best text-book on Elementary Systematic
Geography that has ever appeared on tliis continent,
and I hope to see it in general use in all our schools.

“Alex. Forrester,
“Superintendent of Education.”

— Presbyterian Witness, Halifax, N. S.

We can safely say that it is a work well deserving of
the patronage of all educational establishments in the
provinces of British North America. Our advice is,—
Banish Morse from every school in these provinces,

and furnish them freely with “Lovell’s General Geo-
graphy.”— Provincial “Wesleyan , Halifax, N. S.

We find it to be all that can be desired for the
Elementary Scfrools in the British American provinces.
We have no hesitation in bespeaking for it the favor-
able attention of school authorities and teachers. —
Tribune, Yarmouth, N. S.

From a careful investigation of its contents, we can
say that the author has been highly successful in his
endeavors. Every portion of the globe is treated in a
concise manner, and the letterpress is so arranged that
the information desired may bo readily got at. We
commend the work especially to the attention of those
engaged in education, as a substitute for the American
Geographies now in use.— Morning Journo], Halifax.

We have much pleasure in recommending for the
use of our schools. It is exactly vvliat has been long
wanted in the colonies, and we hope that it may be
introduced immediately into all the schools in the
country .— British Colonist, Halifax, N. S.

The one before us being of colonial compilation, is
certainly the more reliable for British North American
colonists as it contains the most extensive and truthful
information respecting these colonies. We hope it
will soon be in use in every school in this province. —
Evening Express, Half ax, N. S.

It seems well adapted to our colonial schools. Dr.
Hellmuth hopes to introduce it into the schools of the
Colonial Church Society, and it will be well if it take
the place of the many books ot the same character
which arc now in use in our own province . — Church
Record, Halifax, N. S.

We have much pleasure in recommending this work
to the notice of teachers and the public generally. The
whole appearance of the book is superior to any similar
work that we have yet seen. None of the Geographies
hitherto published have givon these provinces tlie
rommence which their growing importance merits,
ut in this work the want is supplied, and on this
account alone, we hope to soe this Geography generally
used throughout the schools. — Reporter, Halifax, N. S.

We have no doubt it will supply a useful place in
education, particularly as a text-book for elementary
schools .— Eastern Chronicle, Pictou, N. S.

We are happy to be able to recommend it as a work
which supplies an important desideratum in our public
schools . — Colonial Standard, Pictou, N. S.

CITY OF ST. JOHN, N. B.

Extracts from Opinions of the New Brunswick Press on Lovell’s General Geography.

A Want Supplied —School teachers, parent*?, and
all interested in educational matters, have felt that a
Geography, above all other books, was required in
the schools. Mr. Lovell has supplied this deficiency;
the plan of which is excellent, and is adapted to the
youth of the British provinces. It is emphatically a
British North American Geography, and commences
at home, as it should do, and not on the old principle
of learning the youth everything about foreign nations,
while they are kept in ignorance of the country in
which they live. Wo wish to see it in every school, and
hope it will supersede those now in use . — Morning Globe,
St. John , N. B.

An excellent, and wo must add, indispensable school
book. As a manual of Geography it leaves nothing,
as far as we can judge, to be desired. It will neces-
sarily lead the youthful mind to dwell upon the vast-
ness of the British dominions in North America, and
cause our juvenile friends to consider that “ where
formerly the red man and the wild beast roamed, in
our day Christianity and civilization claim their power,
and science follows in their path .”— New Brunswicker,
St. John, H. B.

This excellent work supplies a want long felt in these
provinces,— a text book which treats of our own coun-
try. We trust it will be universally patronized .— New
Brunswick Baptist, St. John, N. B.

This Geography is very carefully and elaborately got
up. It seems to be worthy of the encomiums which
all of the first rank and position of all creeds ami
parties in Canada lavish upon it . — Morning Freeman ,
St. John, N. B.

This excellent publication completely supplies a long
ex «ting desideratum in our provincial schools. So
well has the task been executed, both by author and
publisher, that vre recommend it with the greatest con-
fidence to the patronage of all our provincial teachers
and parents. The publication as a whole is so pecu-

liarly adapted for the use of British colonists, that wo
earnestly hope it will rapidly supersede all other Geo-
graphies in our provincial schools. — Courier, St. John,

This work is put forth by a Canadian publisher, and
will admirably answer the purpose intended. It is a
useful publication, and might very well replace the
Geographies got up in the United States, where uncle
Sam’s territory usurps undue space and notice, and
British North America is treated as it were a not much
explored, and a little known region of the world, of
which it is in reality a very fair and ample portion.—
Head Quarters, St. John. N. B.

The Provinces receive a fair share of space and de-
tail. while other countrios receive full justice. The
work is one which deserves an extensive circulation ;
it is a colonial production; is well printed, and comes
highly commended by the savans of Canada. We
cheerfully recommend it to the school teachers of the
province as an excellent substitute for the faulty Geo-
graphies now in use— Morning Hews, St. John, N. B.

We are glad to be able to inform our readers, and
especially the teachers of our New Brunswick schools,
that we nave at lost a Geography which seems suitable
to our wants. “ Lovell’s General Geography ” is, in
our opinion, an exceedingly valuable and suitable con-
tribution to our school literature. We expect soon to
see this the only Atlas used in our Schools in these
colonies. We commend it especially to the notice of
all the teachers of schools in our province. We believe
they will be doing a service to the pupils under their
care, by urging them to lay aside the Atlases previously
in use, and to procure Lovell's General Geography.”
—Albion, St. John, N. B.

We have glanced over this work with much satisfac-
tion. It tills a want which has long been felt in the
schools of these provinces. We predict for it an ex-
tensive sale . — Christian Watchman, St. John, N. B.

CITY OF CHARLOTTETOWN, F. E. I.

Extracts from Opinions of the Prince Edward

It is more suitable for our schools than British
eographies, because *it gives a fuller description of
America, the quarter of the globe in which we dwell,
a nd with which we ought tote best acquainted; ami
on the other hand it is free from the objection to
American works of the kind, as they almost ignore
every part of the world except the United States. We
trust, then, that the Board of Education will lose no
time in placing it on the list of school books for this
island. — Protestant, Charlottetown, P. E. I.

It is a work of unquestionable merit; and is a desid-
eratum to all school interests. Our Island Board of

Island Press on Lovell’s General Geography.

Education will doubtless put it on their list of ap*
proved School Books, and recommend its adoption by
general island use.— Examiner, Charlottetown, P. E. /.

It reflects the highest credit both upon the author and
publisher, and we trust the day is not distant when it
will find its way into all our public schools and educa-
tional establishments, and be the means of eradicating
those erroneous and pernicious publications by whicn
the wants of too many of our district schools— for
want of something better — have hitherto been sup-
plied. — Monitor, P. E. I.

Extracts from Opinions of the Newfoundland Press on Lovell’s General Geography.

We regard the work as the most excellent of the
kind that has yet been produced. It is highly credit-
able in every respect to the genius of British America.
— Sh Johns Daily News, Newfoundland.

We commend it to the attention of those of our com-
munity having in charge the education of youth. It
is arranged in a systematic manner, and yet so simple
as to prove most efficient in leading on the minds of
children in a proper study of Geography. It has been
adopted in a majority of schools throughout the prov-
inces, and the testimonials published at the end of the
work are of the very highest order.— Public Ledger,
St. Johns, Newfoundland.

This work is one of the most complete of the kind
that we have ever met with, and appears to be not
only admirably adapted for the use of schools, but very
valuable as a book of general reference on the subject
of which it treats. It is compiled with great care, and
the varied matter it embraces most judiciously arrang-
ed, while the mass of information it contains gives it a
completeness which characterizes few, if any other
works of a similar class. Altogether the work before
us recommends itself to all, and we consider it should
not only be in every school, but that it would be an
acquisition to every library.— Morning Post, St. Johns,
Nevfound land.

LOVELL’S series op school books.

1,3 have rarely, probably never, seen a work of the
kind offered to the public with clearer titles to success.
It appears to us to be in many respects a decided im-
provement upon the geographies lieretotore in general
use. It contains a variety of information upon matters
on which other Geographies are either silent or incor-
rect; and what should particularly commend the book
to popularity m these colonics, is that in their regard
it supplies the want complained of in other similar
works— while comprising all the leading geographical
and other interesting features of the older countries of
the globe, it is careful to give us the best information
upon every portion of British North America.— New-
foundlander, St. Johns , Newfoundland.

This book meets a w ant which we have long noticed,
better than any other w r ork of the kind with which we
are acquainted. It treats of these North American

valuable work is used in every school in Newfoundland.

Extracts from Opinions of the Canadian Pres3 on Easy Lessons in General Geography

It appears admirably adapted for the purpose for
which it is intended, and we nave no doubt it will have
a large and ready sal c.— Montreal Herald.

The design of the work is indicated in tho^itle; and
when to this is added that it is from the pen of the
author of “ Lovell’s General Geography,” we have
said enough to recommend it to tne favorable con-
sideration of the Canadian people. But we can state
forther that we have looked it over with care, and that
wo consider it a valuable addition to our school book
literature. We should be glad to see it come into
general use, and Mr. Lovell rewarded for his meritori-
ous exertions by the sale of many thousands of copies.
— Montreal Gazette.

Equal to any work of the kind printed in the Great
Republic. The object intended, so far as our judgment

f joes, has been admirably attained. Indeed, in the able
lands of Mr. Hodgins, the Deputy Superintendent of
Education for Upper Canada, it could scarcely be
otherwise. The publisher says that such a period of
time has been spent in the preparation of this book, and
such care and labor bestowed upon its revision, that it
is believed it will be found of incalculable benefit to
the youth of the country. We agree in this; and we
hope it will have a large sale. When once the work is
brought generally before the people, there is not a
school or an educational institution, public, private-
rich or poor, that will not make these ** Easv Lessons ”

[1 864. b. s. a.

It is designed as introductory to the publisher’s
excellent ” General Geography,” which many teachers
consider too advanced lor young beginners, and is
admirably adapted to the purpose lor which it is
intended. The arrangement is excellent. The work
contains in a small space a very large amount of useful
information, and though intended for young beginners
in geography, its pages may be consulted with advan-
tage by ” children of a larger growth.” We trust that
the book will find a large and ready sale.— Montreal
Commercial Advertiser.

This little work, though complete in itself, is designed
as introductory to “ Lovell’s General Geography.” We
have no hesitation in recommending it to teachers: the
simplicity of the language and conversational freedom
in the mode of expression will not fail to please the jun-
ior class, tor whose special benefit, we need scarcely
add, it w as written. — Journal of Education, Montreal.

Geography is a delightful study, and these Lessons
are a delightful method of imparting an interest in it
to the young. The sketches are admirable, combining
great ingenuity and tact with the use of easy and
xkmiliar language, in the treatment of such subjects as
the Earth and its appearance, Time and its divisions,
Geography, the Hemispheres, the Mariner’s Compass,
&c. The trips are designed to connect, in the mind of
the pupil, the objects and associations of travel with a
geographical knowledge of the more important phy-
sical features of the principal countries in the world.
We are glad to see religion discreetly respected, and
lovalty taught as one of its lessons, — Presbyterian,

The whole plan of this volume, and all its illustra-
tions, are admirable, and we have no doubt that the
work will prove valuable in all our common schools.
Mr. Lovell’s enterprise in getting up, at a great ex-
pense, his series of school books, is worthy of all
praise. — Christian Guardian, Toronto.

It deserves a place in every Canadian school. The
easy, attractive manner in which it leads the little
pupil onward, step by step, can scarcely fail to interest
him and prepare him for the larger w r ork. — Canadian
Baptist, Toronto.

Simplicity and comprehensiveness as regards the
subject haveneen deemed the chief requisites, which
have been therefore continually borne in mind; as
well as the aiding pupils by maps and w ood cuts, the
first mentioned being so prepared as not at an early
stage to confuse the pupil with minute details, but to
assist the text in giving general ideas. — Hamilton
Evening Times.

It is a very fine specimen of typography, admirably
adapted for use in our public schools, and we trust to
see it soon in general circulation throughout the coun-
try. Mr. Lovell is deserving of the highest encourage-
ment for his enterprise in placing before the Canadian
public so many useful and instructive publications as
have emanated from his press withiu the last few years.

— British. Whig , Kingston.

It appears to be well calculated for a school book,
being simple and comprehensive. Canada has a fair
share of attention, and not more than she merits.
The work is deserving of the patronage of all our
schools, and we hope it will receive such patronage. —
Prescott Telegraph.

The book is itself a model of perfect printing; the
numerous illustrations are all remarkably well exe-
cuted, and the maps, though ot course smaller, are we
think rather an improvement on the maps in the
“ General Geography.” — News and Advocate, Frontier
Montreal and St. Johns.

Admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is
intended. The arrangement is excellent. — Herald and
Advertiser, Kingston.

Much labor appears to have been bestowed upon its
contents, which, from their simplicity and comprehen-
siveness, will be found well suited to new* beginners,
and is valuable in every particular. We trust it may
receive the extended circulation it deserves. — London
Prototype.

As a preparatory work, it is everything that could
be desired, being simple in style and comprehensive in
subject. Mr. Lovell is doing good service to the cause
of education in this province by the publication of
works of this character. They supply a desideratum
which has long been felt, namely— text-books, which,
while placing Canada in its proper position, will be
advantageous in a literary and educational point of
view to the rising generation. — Ottawa Citizen.

The plan adopted by the author is well calculated to
insure attention on the part of the learner, and being
interested he will be apt to retain the information so
pleasantly given. We should be glad to see this work
adopted in our common schools. — Cobourg Star.

The book is what it pretends to be, for the use of
beginners in learning geography, and we never came
across so excellent a work for young children. We
look upon the w ork as a desideratum, and hope that it
will have a large sale. It needs but to be knowm to be
prized. — Peterborough Examiner.

We would recommend its use in all our schools as it
will be found of incalculable benefit in preparing
children for the ” General Geography.”— Poi't Hope
Messenger.

It is an introductory book to “ Lovell’s General
Geography,” and w*e think it admirably adapted to the
purpose. Simplicity and comprehensiveness are the
distinguishing characteristics of the book. We hope
the public will give Mr. Lovell the encouragement he
so richly deserves for his enterprise in endeavoring to
supply a desideratum which has long been felt, i.e., a
series of Canadian School Books.— Port Hope Guide.

The work is entirely Canadian, and reflects great cre-
dit upon the spirit ot the publisher, for his enterprise in
furnishing us with a series of Canadian School Books,
w hich we hope will be duly appreciated by the public
of Canada ; and we trust that this, as well as all the other
w r orks of” Lovell’s Senes of Canadian School Books,”
will receive that attention which their usefulness and
importance merit. We would call the attention of
school teachers residing in this County to the w’ork;
W'e are sure, from a cursory glance at its contents, that
it will meet their hearty approval.— Hastings Chronicle,
Belleville.

W A style ot teaching at once original and plain— just
what the little folks w r ant. Canada receives a full share
of attention, which is one of the beauties of the book.
We hope it will come into general use. Mr. Lovell
deserves all praise for his rapid introduction of Cana-
dian National School Books in the home market, and
it is the duty of every Canadian to encourage him in
his efforts to do so .—Perth Courier .

Elle est digue de la recommendation du DSpartcment

— Courrier de St. Hyacinthe.

We have no hesitation in stating that it is well adapted
to accomplish the object aimed at, namely, to present
in a pleasing, simple form, tho general outlines of the
study so as to instruct and interest without confusing
tho youthful mind.— Eastern Townships Gazette and
Shefford County Advertiser.

It has many novel features, some of which are de-
cided improvements. The conversational manner in
which the lessons are written, is likely to interest the
beginner, and impress them on the memory. We
hope the work may meet with a favorable reception
from our teachers— Sherbrooke Gazette.

It is a valuable addition to the useful scries of school
books published by Mr. Lovell, and which should be
generally introduced into the schools of the Province.
— Stanstead Journal.

Mr. Lovell is justly entitled to much praise for tho
very enterprising manner in which he undertakes to
supply our youths with books of the most compre-
hensive and instructive description. We would advise
the various boards of school trustees in North Welling-
ton to recommend its use in their respective school
sections. It should be placed in every child’s hand, in
every school in Upper Canada, For simplicity and
comprehensiveness it surpasses any work of a similar
kind hitherto published in this Province.— British Con-
stitution, Fergus.

The work is one evidently of great care and labor,
and we know of no better book on the subject of which
it treats, so well calculated to assist tho youth of the
country. The publications of Mr. Lovell are destined
to effect a world of good in this country— many of
them arc specially adapted to tho instruction of the
youth of Canada— they all make us know and love
Canada the better, and enable us more correctly to
understand her true position (not in a geographical
sense alone) on tho map of the world.— Whitby
Chronicle.

We can recommend it as being an excellent intro-
duction to the General Geography already issued by
the same publisher. The work is neatly got up and
the arrangement of the matter well suited to beginners.
Wo trust it may receive the patronage it deserves. —
Guelph Advertiser.

This work is written in a very familiar style and
liberally illustrated with outline maps and woodcuts,
and will bo found a very valuable contribution to our
means ot instruction in schools. The character of the
author of “ Easy Lessons,” who manifests an intimato
knowledge of the wants of the young, is a guarantee
that it is a book that will take hold of the youthful
mind, and interest and delight it. and we have much
pleasure, therefore, in bespeaking for it a speedy and
genoral adoption as a juvenile class book in our schools
m this section of the country.— Omemee Warder.

We have carefully examined this work, and give it
our unqualified approval. We should have pleasure
in seeing Morse expelled from all our schools, and Mr.
Hodgins’ correct and impartial geographical works
occupying its place. — Guelph Herald.

This work is intended as introductory to u Lovell's
General Geography,” the most useful work ever pub-
lished in Canada. It is so coaxing in its manner, and so
winning in its illustrations, and tne singular attraction
of its maps, pictures and details, that young persons,
we doubt not, would sooner peruse it than any mere
tale of amusement. It is very beautifully got up. —
Galt Reporter.

It is admirably adapted for those pupils beginning
the study of geography. Having gone through the
** Easy Lessons,” “ Lovell's General Geography’' will

be easily mastered, both of which works are creditable
to Canadian enterprise. We bespeak from school
teachers and trustees an examination of these works
issued from Mr. Lovell’s press. — Dumfries Refoimer.

A knowledge of geography is of tho greatest import*
ance, and that system which most easily, efficiently,
and cheaply gives us this is of the greatest value. Mr.
Hodgins’ incomparable little book accomplishes all this,
and is very interesting besides. Most artfully does he
wile his young pupils into the practical object of geog-
raphy, by his “ Conversational Trip over Land and
Water.” In conclusion we would advise all teachers
to procure this book immediately, if they have the
interests of their pupils at heart. — York Herald, Rich-
mond Hill.

It is just the thing wanted at the present time, as it
is designed as an introduction to “ Lovell's General
Geography.” It must be of incalculable benefit to the
youth of the country, and we trust no time will be lost
in introducing it into our schools, as it is purely a
Canadian work and gives proper prominence to Ca-
nada and the other British possessions on this con-
tinent, which Morse’s one-sided affair does not. —
Grand River Sachem , Caledonia.

It is an admirable work, and we heartily commend
it to the attention of Canadian school-teachers. — South
Simcoe Times.

A new and valuable little work on Geography well
adapted to tlio use of schools.— St. Mary's Argus.

Well adapted as a rudimentary work for young
geographers. It is designed as introductory to the
“General Geography,” now universally adopted in
the Canadian Schools. — Canadian Post, Lindsay.

To obviate a sort of objection to the larger, and first
Geography, so well known, Mr. Lovell has again had
recourse to the talented aid of the Deputy Superinten-
dent of Common Schools, and has now published a
smaller, readier, and easier school book, more adapted
for beginners, and in every way calculated to be an
admirable aid to the teacher, and a necessary excellent
guide and friend to the young scholar. Altogether it
is a school book much needed, and it and the larger
ono will soon be the only Geographies in our Common
Schools.— Cayuga Sentinel.

Tho plan of the work is certainly good, being well
calculated to fix the names of places on the minds of
the pupils. We hope to see this work extensively used
in our schools, as it will be found of great advantage
to young beginners — while it will exhibit a just appre-
ciation of the author’s endeavors to furnish a purely
Canadian scries of school books. — Waterloo Chronicle
and Gazette.

We sincerely hope Mr. Lovell will continue his
laudable work in the interest of the schools in this
country until every book used in them shall bear the
impress of Canadian talent and enterprise. We very
cheerfully commend this book to the attention of all

parties concerned in the education of the young.

Essex Journal.

The “ Easy Lessons ” will be found to be of very-
great use to young beginners, before commencing the
study of the “ General Geography.” Tho illustrations
are well executed, and will render the work particu-
larly interesting to the junior pupils. It is not only a
valuable work, but it is entirely Canadian, which
should entitle it to be received with favor in our
schools. — Markham Economist .

An excellent and appropriate addition to our Cana-
dian school books. On the whole it is just such a book
as was required. — Woodstock Sentinel.

We think Mr. Hodgins deserves great credit for tho
admirable manner in which he has got up this work,
while the publisher, Mr. Lovell, has fully sustained his
long since acquired reputation as a first class book
rinter. We hope to see this Geography immediately
rought into general use in our schools.— Berlin Tele-
graph.

Just the book required by tho beginner in tho study
of geography. Wo would recommend it to school
teachers throughout the country.— Canadian States-
man, Bowmanville.

A more useful and interesting work could not be
introduced into our schools, for the use of the junior
classes.— Enterprise, Collingwood.

LOVELL’S SERIES OP SCHOOL BOOKS.

[1864. B. N. A.

We take pleasure in recording our opinion in favor
of its general introduction into both public and private
schools. We congratulate Mr. Lovell on the success
which has attended his school books, and trust that he
will go on as he has begun, so that in a short time
Canada may have a series of school books equal to any
country in the world, — books edited and printed in
Canada, which, without seeking to push our country
into undue prominence, will accord to it what few
text-books do, its due and proper position.— Essex
Record, Windsor.

This work has evidently been prepared with very
great care to adapt it to the capacities of the junior
classes in schools, and to awaken in the minds of small
children a desire to become acquainted with the sub-
ject — Clinton Courier.

We cannot too strongly recommend it to general
notice as an excellent school book.— MerrickviUe Chro-
nicle.

We have examined the work thoroughly, and are
of opinion that, within the same space, a larger
amount of information on all questions appertaining
to a study of the earth's surface, and its physical and
political divisions, could not bo embodied.— British
Standard, Perth.

One of the simplest and best arranged little works
of the kind we have ever met with. The youthful
student of geography is led o i by such easy and inter-
esting stages, that it cannot fail to become a necessaij
book, with the younger classes more especially. We
trust all our friends will provide their little ones with a
copy of this work. — Waterloo Advertiser.

We have no hesitation in recommending it to our
readers. The work is got out in a very attractive
form, and the engravings nave evidently been prepared
with much care. — Huron Signal, Goderich.

•

The contents of this book are simple and compre-
hensive, which are indispensable in a work of this
kind, intended as it is for beginners in the study of
Geography. The sketches in the little work before us
are admirable, combining much ingenuity and taste
with the use of easy and familiar language in the
treatment of such subjects as the Earth and its appear-
ance, Time, the Mariner’s Compass, &c. The trips are
designed to connect in the mind of the pupil the
objects and associations of travel with a geographical
knowledge of the more important physical features of
the principal countries in the world. Mr. Lovell is a
publisher of note in Montreal, and his energy and per-
severance is worthy of the warmest commendation,
and his efforts to place good and reliable school books
before the public are deserving of encouragement by
the people of all the Provinces. These “ Easy Les-
sons,” are well adapted to accomplish the object aimed
at, namely, to present in a pleasing and simple form
the general outlines of the study of geography, so as to
instruct and interest without contusing the youthful
mind. Simplicity and comprehensiveness are the dis-
tinguishing characteristics of the book, and we have
no doubt that it will prove highly useful in our com-
mon schools throughout the city and country. This
work was evidently prepared with much care to adapt
it to the capacities of the junior classes in schools, and
to awaken in the minds of small children a desire to
become acquainted with the subject. For this purpose
the subject is divided off into conversations or reading
lessons, each of which is followed by an explanation,
testing the scholar upon the matter he has just read,
a method of proceeding which certainty seems calcu-
lated to forward the pupil very materially with his
studies, and to inculcate the good habit or attentive-
ness to the reading lesson. In it religion is discreetly
respected, and lovalty taught as one of its lessons.
There is one excellent feature about this little geogra-
phy, it is emphatically a British American book, and
commences at home as it should do, and not on the
old principle of learning the youth everything about
foreign nations, while they are kept in ignorance
of the country in which they live. It is a work of 80
pages, and is got up in a neat and compact style. —
Morning Chronicle, Halifax, N. S. ,

It seems to us admirably suited to the capacity of
young children. We prefer Lovell’s Geography to any
American publications of the same kind that nave come
under our notice.— I'resbyterian Witness, Halifax, N.S.

We are happy to introduce to the notice of our
readers “ Easy Lessons in General Geography.” We
should be happy to see Lovell’s series ot school books
introduced into general use in the schools of our Pro-
vince.— Provincial Wesleyan, Halifax, N. S.

Lovell’s Series op School Books. —The spirit
of enlightened enterprise deserves public patronage,
and we are happy to embrace an opportunity of notic-
ing the above series of publications. Upwards of
twenty books have already been brought out, several
of which deserve special notice. We must, however,
content ourselves by a word or two concerning the
“ Easy Lessons in General Geography,” by Mr. Hod-
gins, the Deputy Superintendent of Education for
Upper Canada. It is a most attractive book of eighty
pages, exactly suited for young beginners, and conveys
just the information required, and in a style which
must render the study a pleasant recreation. The con-
versational trip through the several countries brought
before the pupil, must fasten his attention upon them,
and induce in him a wish to know more about them,
The maps are clear, and distinctly marked and colored.
Ihe wood-cuts of cities and animals are very neatly
executed. We doubt not that teachers will adopt the
book as soon as they have learned its excellencies. —
Christian Messenger, Halifax, N. S.

We, on a former occasion, expressed our high opin-
ion ot “ Lovell’s General Geography.” We may now
say that the later publication, — ” Easy Lessons in Gene-
raHieography is equally commendable.

>v e can also recommend, with every confidence, the
several class books on Arithmetic, Natural Philosophy,
^ o n *i s *' I X English and Latin Grammar, Elocution,
and Chronology. We really hope that these books
will soon be introduced into every school in Nova
Scotia, as well as throughout the remainder of British
North America. — British Colonist, Halifax, K. S.

Of the various elementary books on geographical
science this appears to be in every way by far the most
admirable. In addition to the style of the text being
more adapted for children, the maps are plain and in-
telligible to the most youthful mind. We have little
doubt that this admirable work will become just as
popular as the larger one- in these Provinces. — Repor-
ter, Halifax, N. S.

The plan is excellent, the text is admirably adapted
to the youthful mind, and the engravings and illustra-
tions are well executed. We took occasion to notice
” Lovell’s General Geography ” at the time of its pub-
lication, and we may repeat the desire then ex-
pressed that his series of school books should be gene-
rally adopted in the Colonies. — Acadian Recorder,
Halifax, N. S .

We must candidly say that we have seldom seen so
much instructive and highly interesting matter con-
tained in so small a compass. It is not only a valuable
school book, but may also be referred to with advan-
tage by those of riper years. The maps and plates are
both elegant. We wish the enterprising proprietor
every success, both in this, and also in his numerous
other publications for the advancement of education,
which are specially got up to suit the wants of British
North America; and we earnestly recommend teachers
throughout the Province to adopt Mr. Lovell’s series
for their text-looks.— Casket, Antigonish, A r . S.

This little Book is intended for young scholars, for
whom we consider it admirably fitted. We would re-
commend the publications of Mr. Lovell to all who are
interested in the advancement of education : and as his
series of works are intended for the Provinces we trust
the public will tender him that encouragement which
his enterprise is so worthy of. — Eastern Chronicle, Pic-
tou, N. S.

The book, as its name indicates, is intended for young
scholars, for which it is admirably fitted; and cannot
fail to be welcomed as a valuable addition to the series
of school books issued by the publisher. — Colonial
Standard, Pictou, N. S.

It cannot fail to be welcomed as a valuable addition to
the series of school books issued by the publisher. We
would recommend teachers and those interested in the
advancement of education, to examine the series of
works issued by Mr. Lovell.— Colonial Sta?idard f Pic -
tou, jV, S.

The style is easy, yet comprehensive, and the student
is aided in his studies by means of maps and illustra-
tions. We are all interested in the circulation of a
work issued on our own soil, and by a man who has
labored heartily to give a series of school books suit-
ed to the Provinces, and we trust that this elementary
work will be well patronized.— Evening Globe , St.
John , N. B.

It is an excellent little book of its kind, containing
many maps, illustrations, diagrams, Sec.— Morning
Freeman, SL John , jV. B.

Comprehensiveness and simplicity of style, two cha-
racteristics very necessary in a work of this kind, have
been steadily kept in view. Very well executed maps,
and various illustrations are scattered through its
pages, and so arranged as to greatly assist the pupil in
getting a correct idea of the text. It is peculiarly
adapted for the. schools of this Province. — Morning
News, St. John, N. B.

Nothing equal to it has yet appeared in this Pro-
vince. The questions and answers are plain and simple,
at the same time that they convey a correct idea of what
the pupil has to learn. Our school teachers ought to see
this work at once; and we are quite sure they would
immediately ask for its introduction.— Westmoreland
Times , Moncton, N. B.

We have received from the publisher — “ Easy Les-
sons in General Geography,” with maps and illustra-
tions, which is a capital book for beginners in this
study. — Carleton Sentinel, Woodstock, N. B.

From the Montreal Gazette.— Mr. Lovell’s school
books are well known in Canada, and we are happy to
see that out of Canada, they are also becoming known.
The Jury of the International Exhibition held in Lon-
don, in 1862, made the following report: “ The Colony
“(Canada) produces many of its own school books,
“ among which may be mentioned ‘ Lovell’s General
+* Geography,’ a trustworthy and attractive manual,
** remarkable for its clear arrangement and for the
41 fulness Of its illustrative and statistical contents.”
Here is a verdict which, from such a source, Mr. Lovell
-must find highly gratifying. We notice that the Lon-
don Educational Times, a liighly respectable authority,
has reviewed a part of Mr. Lovell’s series of school
books very favorably ; which, also, he must find grati-
fying. As we believe our London contemporary has
not a general circulation in Canada we will repeat the
article at length. The judgment of its editor is valuable
on such a subject :

LOVELL’S CANADIAN SCHOOL SERIES.

Lovell’s General Geography— National Arithmetic-
Key to ditto— Elementary Arithmetic in Decimal Cur -
rency — Natural Philosophy — Student's Note Book of
Inorganic Chemistry— Classical English Spelling-Book
— English Grammar Made Easy— British American
Reader .

These works form part of a series of school books,
which have been specially prepared for the use of the
public schools of Canada, and are now in course of
publication by Mr. Lovell of Montreal. They are in-
teresting, both on particular and on general grounds,
not only as a specimen of the literature of Canada, but
still more of the sort of teaching which is being estab-
lished in that Colony. We have been much struck with
the merit of some of the volumes of the series, which,
as a whole, will bear favorable comparison with any
works of a similar class published in this country.

Of Mr. Ilodgins’ Geography we have already had
occasion to speak with approval in this journal, on its
first appearance two years ago. In the present edition
(1862), the population returns have been brought down
to I860; and the work now forms a very complete and
comprehensive textbook of geographical science, con-
taining an amount and variety of information, bearing
on the geography of the various countries of the globe,
such as we must candidly avow we have not before
seen compressed within the same compass in any other
work. Mr. Sangster’s Arithmetics appear to us to be
models of arrangement and good teaching. The rules
are in all cases illustrated by operations fully worked
out, and explained step by step in such a way that the
pupil can have no difficulty in mastering and compre-
hending the rationale of every process employed. The
“ Note-Book on Inorganic Chemistry” is intended as
.an aide-memoire” for students and teachers, and com-

prises the heads of a course of Lectures on Chemistry
in a condensed form, so as to obviate the necessity of
writing notes on the subject. The “ Natural Philoso-
phy” embraces the elements of Statics, Hydrostatics,
Pneumatics, Dynamics, Hydrodynamics, the theory of
Undulations, and the mechanical theory of Music. A
very valuable feature is the introduction of a great
variety of problems under each section, solved, for the
most part, arithmetically, by which means the general
principles of mechanical science are not only more
clearly comprehended by the student, but more per-
manently fixed in his mind.

Mr. Vasey’s “ English Grammar” is entitled to the
praise of clearness and simplicity— a merit possessed in
a still higher degree by the “ Classical English Spelling
Book,” in which the anomalies and difficulties of Eng-
lish orthography are, by a judicious classification of the
elementary sounds, reduced to a minimum.

The “ British American Reader” of Mr. Borthwick,
is a patriotic attempt to construct a Reading Book
of exclusively home manufacture. The extracts are
entirely either from the works of native authors, or
authors who have written on America.

Lovell’s Series of School Books.— We hope that
these works will, at no distant date, be in general use.
We have already borne testimony to the excellence of
Mr. Lovell’s publications, and are confident that a dis-
criminating public will fully bear out our encomiums,
and properly appreciate the praiseworthy enterprise
of the leading British American publisher. The
heads of educational institutions should examine
carefully Mr. Lovell’s series of school books; for we
feel assured, if they do so, they cannot fail to adopt them
in their schools. We believe, too, that the Superin-
tendent of Education should feel it his duty to encou-
rage their adoption generally throughout this Pro-
vince.— Reporter, Halifax, N. S.

Mr. Lovell’s efforts to supply our Colonial Schools
with a series of text-books specially suited to our
requirements we consider worthy of the highest com-
mendation. We have examined the various works of
the series, and have come to the conclusion that they are
better adapted to our wants than the American or
British books now in our schools, and that the Supe-
rintendent of Education and teachers would do well to
adopt Lovell’s series in toto, and thereby encourage
Colonial pens and a Colonial publisher.— Eastern Chro-
nicle, Pictou, N. S.

We are strongly of opinion that the efforts of a pub-
lisher who specially prepares a series of books for
Colonial use should be encouraged, and would there-
fore suggest that teachers generally should examine
the merits of these text-books, and if found suitable, to
countenance and urge their speedy adoption.— Colonial
Standard, Pictou, N. S.

The merit of these books is now universally acknow
ledged throughout the Provinces ; and should therefore
merit the attention and patronage of all those who
desire to see the children of the Province acquire a
correct knowledge of geography, without at the same
time imbibing those erroneous ideas inculcated in
many of the books now in use. — Morning Telegraph,
St. John, N. B.

In these books we have just what was long required,
and we trust that now, while our people are moving
toward colonial unity, the government will take some
steps to encourage school books that are written in and
suited for British America. The movement deserves
to be encouraged by our people, and Mr. Lovell, of
Montreal, deserves our gratitude. The scholar will
learn out of these what he could never learn out of an
English work, and will have information in regard to
America without hearing anything to prejudice him
against the fatherland. — Morning Post, St. John, A. B.

They are prepared from a British, and not from an
American, stand-point, and that is a great advantage .
They inculcate loyalty to the Queen, while discoursing
in an interesting manner on her wide-spread dominions.
We have conversational trips around the boundaries
of each of these provinces, and it certainly will not be
the fault of the editor if very clear conceptions are not
imparted. In the simplicity and excellence of its plan
and method, and in the number and variety of its illus-
trations, it has strong claims on the attention of the
teachers and pupils of the British North American
Colonies.— Colonial Presbyterian, St. John, N. B.

HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA.

Conversational Sketch of the Queen.

1. All good and loyal little boys and girls will
no doubt like to hear something about our great
and noble Queen. When she is addressed in
writing by any of her subjects she is styled Her
Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria; but she
is generally called the Queen.

2. The Queen lives in England, where she has
several beautiful palaces, in different parts of the
country. In London several wise and distin-
guished men assist her in governing her great
empire.

>3. Among the Queen’s forefathers were the
celebrated Alfred the Great, and William the
Conqueror. The King who reigned before our
Queen was her uncle, William IV. When he
died, she was made Queen of the whole British
empire (including all the British colonies).

4. The Queen had an excellent mother, who
early taught her to love God. When her uncle
died, and she was told that she was a Queen, her
first act was to kneel down and pray to God for
his divine guidance.

5. The Queen has ever since ruled the empire
so wisely, that she is greatly beloved by all her

subjects. She has a number of children, who,
from their high rank, are called Princes and
Princesses. Her eldest son, the Prince of W ales,
visited the British North American Provinces in
1860, and was welcomed with great love and af-
fection by all classes of the people.

6. In 1861 the Queen suffered a great loss in
the death of her noble husband, Prince Albert
the good. All her subjects mourned with her,
and from every part of her vast empire she has
received the warmest sympathy.

7. Our duty to the Queen is to love her, and to
obey the laws of our country. The Bible says,
“ fear God and honour the King,” and “ obey
them that have the rule over you.” With one
heart and voice, our prayers for her should con-
tinually ascend; and in the words of our Na-
tional Anthem, we should all heartily sing :

“ God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen !

God save the Queen !

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us !

God save the Queen !

LOVELL’S SERIES OF SCHOOL BOOKS

NATIONAL ARITHMETIC,

IN THEORY AND PRACTICE;

DESIGNED FOR THE

USE OF CANADIAN SCHOOLS*

BY JOHN HERBERT SANGSTER, ESQ.,
Mathematical Master and Lecturer on Chemistry and
Natural Philosophy in the Normal School for
Upper Canada.

JOHN LOVELL, Publisher.

Opinions of the Press on the National Arithmetic.

From the brief examination we have been enabled
to give it, we are inclined to think it will give a more
thorough knowledge of the science of numbers than
any other Arithmetic we remember, and wo hope
Canadian teachers will give it a trial. We would re-
commend it particularly to any Students of Arith-
metic who are prosecuting their studies without the
aid of a master. It seems to us peculiarly suited for
them. — Montreal Gazette.

It is the production of one of our most useful and
energetic teachers, and it shows a thorough knowledge
of the subject and adaptation to the wants of the
country. We recommend our Board of School Trustees,
both Grammar and Common, to introduce it into our
city schools as soon as practicable.— Ottawa Citizen.

We think it is admirably adapted for, and should be
speedily introduced into, all our Canadian schools. —
Carleton Place Herald.

This Arithmetic is not only infinitely better adapted
to the wants of this country than any other in use, but
the simplicity of its rules and the practical illustrations
of the theory and practice of arithmetic in the many
original problems, give it a stamp of nationality highly
creditable to the author. — Markham Economist.

We hail with much satisfaction the appearance of
this work, rendered absolutely necessary by the recent
introduction of the Decimal Currency into Canada.
From what fame says of Mr. Sangster’s capabilities as
an excellent teacher and an accomplished mathemati-
cian, the volume before us has not exceeded our ex-
pectations, though it surpasses every treatise on the
subject which has yet come into our hands in three
essential requisites, namely; Methodical arrangement
of matter; conciseness yet comprehensiveness in the
demonstration of the various rules ; and the immense
practical utility which it possesses by the number of
examination questions given at the end of each section
to test the knowledge of the student as he progresses.
— Brant County Herald.

THE CLASSICAL ENGLISH

SPELLING BOOK;

In which the hitherto difficult art of Orthography is
rendered easy and pleasant, and speedily acquired.

COMPRISING ALL THE IMPORTANT ROOT-WORDS FROM
THE ANGLO-SAXON, THE LATIN AND THE GREEK :

And Several Hundred Exercises in Derivation
and Verbal Distinctions.

BY GEORGE G. VASEY.

The following is from an eminent Professor in
Montreal :—

1 have looked carefully over the “ Classical English
Spelling Book, by George G. Vasey,” and can speak in

the highest terms of the plan upon which it is con-
structed.

To teachers it will be invaluable; and even to those
who are not directly engaged in teaching, it will be
acceptable on account of the information connected
w ith the origin of the words of our language which it
contains. I shall do all I can to recommend it, and
trust it may have a wide circulation.

WM. HICKS,

Professor, McGill Normal School.

Opinions of the Press on the Classical English
Spelling Book.

It is destined to become the spelling book of the
province. There is no school book, we believe, extant,
which in so little compass contains so great an amount
of information.— Quebec Gazette.

This is another of Mr. Lovell’s Series of School Books,
and we think a very good one. It comes recommend-
ed very highly by Professor Hicks, whose long expe-
rience as a teacher makes his recommendation of great
value.— Montreal Gazette.

This is one of Lovell’s Series of School Books, des-
tined, we hope, to replace the inferior elementary
works now used in Canadian schools.— Commercial
Advertiser, Montreal.

A most valuable class-book, especially for the instruc-
tion of advanced classes in English. It is much more
than a spelling-book, being a thorough instructor in
etymology as well as orthography.— Montreal Tran-
script.

The Spelling Book is really an excellent thing of the
kind, with fresh ideas and new modes of obtaining and
retaining information. For the boy or girl wishing to
know something of his or her native tongue, it is inval-
uable. — Daily British Whig, Kingston.

After carefully examining this little book, we feel
justified in speaking in the nighest terms of it, and in
earnestly recommending it to the atention of our
School Superintendents and School Boards .—Herald
and Advertiser Kingston.

This is a skilfully compiled spelling book — well cal-
culated to lead to a thorough knowledge of the con-
struction of our language. — Peterborough Review.

It contains a most admirable analysis of the English
language, presenting the various Saxon, Latin, and
Greek roots, and their derivatives, in a manner which
sheds the clearest and most abundant light on the con-
struction of our own rich, flexible, comprehensive, and
expressive mother-tongue. It ought to be in the hands
of every common school teacher in the Province.—
Cobourg Star.

It contains much information, and gives the English
scholar a clear insight into the derivation of words.
We hope it may be extensively purchased . — Dumfries
Reformer.

We can cordially recommend it as an excellent book,
and think it will be extensively used w r here a uniformity
of text-books is desired.— Brochoille Recorder.

W r e hope we shall see it speedily introduced into our
schools, as it is just the work now wanted, and will
save teachers and scholars a vast amount of labor.—
Grand River Sachem.

This is a very useful little work, and will be peculi-
arly acceptable to school teachers; while all will find
in it a fund of information lhat will prove very valu-
able. — British Standard, Perth.

This is a book which ought to be in every school, as
it is well fitted to succeed the Spelling-Book Super-
seded. — Stratford Beacon.

It is a long promised and long needed work, and we
recommend it to the attention of the teachers through-
out the country.— Hastings Chronicle, Belleville.

We have little doubt that this is an excellent work.
—Norfolk Messenger .

It is one of the most perfect we have seen. — Wood-
stock Times .

When we first took up the little unpretending work,
we considered it merely as a common school book,
containing, perhaps, some improvements or additions
in Orthography suitable for children; but on farther
examination, we were agreeably disappointed to find
it right well worthy the patronage of the more ad-
vanced scholars. — Kemptville Progressionist.

From a glance at its various headings, we are favor-
ably impressed with the work. — Cornwall Freeholder.

The above is one of Lovell's Series of School Books,
and contains much that is of importance to the “ rising
generation." — Richmond County Advocate.

With its intrinsic merits we are most favorably im-
pressed. — Stanstead Journal.

We have this excellent spelling book. It is a work
which has only to be seen to be appreciated by those
interested in the education of the rising generation. —
Cayuga Sentinel.

This is the title of another excellent school book,
which is destined to supersede all others of the kind
now in use. The arrangement is admirable. It begins
at the beginning and ends at the end, from words com-
posed of two letters to the most difficult in the lan-
guage, all arranged in natural order and by regular
gradations. We can confidently recommend it to the
attention of teachers and trustees, satisfied that it can-
not fail to meet with general approbation. — Perth
Courier.

It is an excellently got up work, and ought to be in-
troduced into all Canadian schools .-Guelph Advertiser.

We have just received the " Classical English Spell-
ing Book,” and " English Grammar Made Easy."
They are two small works by George G. Yasey, pub-
lished by John Lovell, Montreal, and well worthy
the notice of both parents and teachers. There is a
simplicity connected with these works which makes
them adapted for the beginner, and, at the same time,
they can bo used by those farther advanced, with the
greatest surety that they will benefit by their contents.
We wish them success. — Dunnville Independent.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR MADE EASY,

AND ADAPTED TO THE

CAPACITY OF CHILDREN.

In which English Accidence and Etymological
Parsing are rendered simple and attractive.

BY GEORGE G. YASEY.

Opinions of the Press on English Grammar
Made Easy.

Well adapted for the use of schools, and students
of the English language. — True Witness, Montreal.

It is designed for the use of the youngest children,
and appears to be very ingeniously and successfully
compiled.— Peterborough Review.

This little class-book seems to be just the thing re-
quired for the instruction of children, in the principles
of English grammar. We think Mr. Vasey has suc-
ceeded in producing a work, which, if introduced as a
class-book in our schools, will vastly facilitate the
study of grammar. We recommend the book to the
favorable notice of teachers and others interested. —
Brantford Expositor.

It is admirably adapted to the capacity of children.
The work before us is an easy and very interesting
elementary introduction to English Grammar,— Cayu-
ga Sentinel.

The little book we are now noticing is the simplest
of any we have yet seen. If children of tender years
can spare any time from ordinary studies to attend to
the grammar of their language, this text-book is just
the one for their purpose.— Brockville Recorder.

It is of great importance that an elementary book on
English Grammar, at once easy and interesting, should
be placed in the hands of our younger pupils, and we
are of opinion that this grammar exactly supplies what
is wanted. We earnestly recommend it to the atten-
tion of parents and school teachers.— Herald and Ad-
vertiser, Kingston.

We think it admirably adapted to its purpose— the
initiation of children of tender age to the mysteries of
the construction of their own language. — Cobourg Star.

We should like to see it introduced into all our
schools, and would recommend teachers generally to
procure a copy and examine for themselves.— Perth
Courier.

We have no doubt this little work will soon be a
favourite in the schools. — British Standard, Perth.

This is a highly desirable elementary work on Eng-
lish Grammar, adapted to the capacity of children. —
Hastings Chronicle, Belleville .

As a first book, we say, unhesitatingly, that it is
vastly superior to any with which wo are acquainted.
Author’s plan is a new one, and evidently the result of
much care ; and we see no reason why teachers, in
pursuing his method, should fail in making the subject
interesting. — Waterloo Advertiser.

The plan upon which this little work is constructed is
simple and novel, and we think when its merits become
known it will come into general us Belleville Intelli-
gencer.

It is a valuable work for children- every subject
treated of being couched in plain, simple language, such
as young minds can easily comprehend. — Cornwall
Freeholder.

The above is the title of another of Lovell's Series of
School Books, and being in a plain, easy style, is admir-
ably adapted to those commencing the study of gram-
mar. — Boivmanville Statesman.

It is intended for small children and beginners : and
as far as we can judge, it is admirably written and ar-
ranged for that purpose.— Gananoque Reporter.

From the cursory perusal which we have been able to
give, we are induced to believe that Mr. Vasey has suc-
ceeded in giving the public a very valuable elementary
work. — Sherbrooke Gazette.

OUTLINES OF CHRONOLOGY,

EDITED BY MRS. GORDON.

I have carefhlly looked through your "Outlines of
Chronology,” and I have no doubt that its usefulness
will soon be acknowledged generally, and especially by
those engaged in teaching. It is quite a multum in
parvo. I shall have much pleasure in recommending
it.

J. HELLMUTH, D.D.

Opinions of the Press on Outlines of Chronology.

This is an exceedingly clever little work, in which its
accomplished author gives a clear and lucid explana-
tion of the principles of the science of chronology.
We have no hesitation in recommending it.— Montreal
Herald.

We think it may be very advantageously introduced
into all our schools. It is clear, concise, and well
I arranged.— Montreal Gazette.

question the judgment of the person who will not per-

BRITISH AMERICAN READER,

BY J. DOUGLAS BORTHWICK,

AUTHOR OF CYCLOPAEDIA OF HISTORY AND

Education Office, Montreal, Dec. 31st, I860.
Mr. J. Douglas Borthwick,

Professor, Huntingdon Academy,*

Sir, — I have the honor to inform yon that at its
meeting of the 13th inst, the Council of Public Instruc-
tion approved of the book submitted by you— The
British American Reader, which approval has been
confirmed by His Excellency the Administrator of the
Government.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

LOUIS GIRARD, Recording Clerk.

Opinions of the Press on the British American
Reader.

It does the greatest credit to the industry and taste
of Mr. Borthwick. — English Journal of Education of
Lower Canada.

The compilation is an excellent one, and no doubt,
will supply a want which has hitherto been much felt!
— Montreal Herald.

We can heartily recommend this book as the best
we have yet seen for use in the British American Co-
lonies. — Montreal Gazette.

A very valuable work, and one much required. The
British American Reader should find a place in every
Canadian school.— Commercial Advertiser, Montreal.

The selection of pieces seems well made, with much
tact and sound discretion. There is nothing with
which any can bo offended, much from which ah may
derive both profit and amusement.^- True Witness,
Montreal.

The selection of pieces in this book is, we think,
made with judgment, and tho whole will convey, in
a very pleasing manner, much information about
America generally. — Montreal Witness.

Mr. Borthwick has so ably accomplished the task ho
undertook, that very many readers, who have long
passed the school-boy era of life, will find his work a
most useful book.— Montreal Transcript.

This is the very book for our Canadian youth. Wo
wish Mr. Borthwick every possible success. — British
Whig, Kingston.

We have no hesitation in recommending its general
use, and doubt not it will secure ready acceptance in
all British America,— Bytown Gazette.

From its pages we receive much valuable informa-
tion, historical and statistical, in reference to our own
country; and its general selections arc all that could
be desired in a Reading Book for our public schools. —
Peterborough Review.

We trust to see this book take the place of many of
the foreign works now in use throughout the country.

-*• Eastern Townships Gazette, Granby.

We have the utmost reason to be proud of its se-
lections: it is, indeed, almost a miracle of books for
the young. — Richmond County Advocate.

This work is well done, and we trust that the attempt
to nationalize our school books will meet with abun»
dant success.— Stanstead Journal.

Lovell’8 Series of School Books.— Mr. Lovell
is one of the most enterprising and spirited of Cana-
dian publishers in the department of works of utility.
We have lately received several numbers of his series
of school books on spelling, reading, and grammar in
which we think he fully bears out the object which ho
professes to have in view, viz. , rendering these branches
of education simple and attractive. The books are well

E rinted, and cheaply though firmly bound so as to
ring them within the reach of all persons who have
children to send to school.— London Prototype.

The trustees of the Melbourne Female Seminary
have introduced an entire uniformity of the British
American series of school books now being published
by Mr. Lovell of Montreal. This is a good movement
in the right direction. It will avoid all the evils of a
multiplicity oftext-book8 inthenewinstitution which
has commenced under very favorable auspices. It will
ultimately be a great saving of expense to parents, who
have much just cause of complaint on account of the
frequent changes and ill-adaptedness of many of tho
books used in our schools. These excellent homo
publications ought to be introduced into the schools
generally throughout the province, for many very ob-
vious reasons ; and especially because they are much
better adapted to Canadian schools than either Ameri-
can or even British works generally ar c.— Richmond
County Advertiser.

NATIONALITY OF SCHOOL BOOKS.
Anticipating somewhat the action of our long-pro-
mised Council of Public Instruction, upon whose suc-
cess seems to depend the subject of reform in our
schools, it may not however be impertinent or profit-
less lor us to notice some of those radical deficiencies
that exist in our School system.

The most obvious and the chief defect in the Com-
mon and the Higher Schools of the Eastern Townships
is the great want of nationality in the text-books which
they use. They are anything and everything but
Canadian. In our Readers we find speeches of Patrick
Henry, Webster and Clay, glowing descriptions of our
Southern neighbors, notices of their prominent men,
and pictures of their natural scenery and wonders of
art; but what of Canada?— what of her worthies, her
institutions, her progress, and her beauties of nature?
Absolutely nothing. Our Geographies are of the same
nature; full particulars relative to every State and
Territory in tho Union — usually occupying a third or
more of the book— and the whole of the British Pro-
vinces in North America hastily and carelessly summed
up in the compass of four or five pages. Our Histories,
and many other books, are as faulty as those just
named.

Now, we do not pretend tosav that a child cannot
as well be taught the art of reading from a book made
up of foreign miscellany as from any other; but what
we do say is that a book adapted to Canadian scholars
would not be used in the United States, nor would a
book intended for Republicans bo used in any of the
monarchies of Europe. In all countries wherein a
complete system of Education has been developed, the
nationality of a text-book is one of its greatest elements
of success. Book-makers, book-sellers and book-buyers
equally well understand this. Would that it were as
well understood in Canada.

Now, what is the tendency of this system? Is it
not— either by presenting to the minds of our youth
foreign models of excellence.or byexcluding them from
that which is most essential for them to know— to make
them foreign in their tastes and predilections, and
admirers of everything abroad— and, we might add,
despisers of everything at home? If we would see
those that are to come after us, and to inherit our
birthrights, worthy to enjoy, and fitted to promote that
high destiny which awaits our country, we must make
them patriots in their tender years. Instruction by
the home fireside is not alone sufficient. We mu4 put
in their hands Canadian books, to be read and studied
at school. When this is done, prosperity is in store
for us and our country. — Watreloo Advertiser .

HE ADVANTAGES which this Society offers to good lives are— a greatly larger original
.Assurance for the same Premium , and eventually as large additions as where the ordinary
nigh rate of Premium is charged. J

For the same yearly suin , as large an Assurance may generally be secured from the first as
Ti^nn 6 10 ^otn f ° r els 1 ew l he ^ after many years’ accumulation of Bonuses. Thus, a Policy for
X t • 1250 may be bad for the Premium usually charged to Assure £1000 only

In addition to this immediate advantage, the WHOLE PROFITS are secured to the Policv-
°r> ei ^ s . emselves, &nd are divided on a system peculiarly favourable to good lives.

GUARANTEE DEPARTMENT.

In addition to the Business usually transacted by Life Assurance As-
sociations, this Society is specially constituted to grant Bonds of Indemnity to
Bankers, Merchants, Public Companies, Municipal Corporations and others,
against losses occasioned by the dishonesty or infidelity of their Employees.

TO EMPLOYERS

The system of this Society offers great advantages, inasmuch as it not only se-
cures to them the prompt payment of any loss so sustained ; but affords them
the means of avoiding the unpleasantness, and to a great extent uncertainty, at-
tendant upon Private Suretyships ; and as the Society, for its own safety, takes
all steps to ascertain the character of an applicant for employment, Employers
are relieved of that necessarily delicate and troublesome task, and are assured by
the fact of the Society’s consenting to grant a guarantee, that the Candidate for
such employ has been found, as far as it is possible to be known, fully worthy of
their confidence and trust.

TO EMPLOYEES,

It obviates the unpleasant necessity of resorting to their personal friends, and
enables them by payment of a small annual premium, to be their own independ-
ent sureties — with the satisfaction of feeling that the security they give is of
the most substantial nature, and at the same time, a convincing proof of their
well-established trustworthiness.

TO BONDSMEN,

It affords, in approved cases, the means of immediate release from the liability
under which they have placed themselves : every facility being given to substitute
the Society’s Bonds for existing suretyships — no expense beyond the actual pre-
mium being incurred.

This system of Guarantee has been thoroughly tested, and its advantages
largely made use of by the Mercantile and Commercial Communities in Great
Britain, and most of her dependencies — the various departments of Government,
in addition, being authorized by special Act of the Imperial Parliament to
accept the Bonds of this Society only.

The Rates of Premium in all cases are commensurate with the risk incurred.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.

This Society, from its peculiar constitution and the large amount of its in-
come, from both premiums and invested Capital, is in a position to transact Life
Assurance business upon terms unusually favorable to Assurers.

The following are the more prominent features in this Department : —

All Life Policies issued upon the faithful representations of Assurers, are
indisputable.

Policies, on which five full premiums have been paid, are purchased by
the Society.

»■

THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

*

On Policies for over £200 stg. for the whole of Life, one half the premiums
for first five years may remain unpaid at interest at five per cent, per annum.

Three-fourths of the entire profits of the Society are divisible amongst
the Life Policy Holders on the Profit scale of Premiums.

In consequence of the profits of the Guarantee Department, (which shew
a large annual increase,) already more than paying the whole expenses of. the
management of the Society, Life Policy-holders are placed in a peculiarly
advantageous position in respect of Bonuses, seeing that in addition to the unen-
cumbered profits of the Life Business, they participate in the continually in-
creasing profits of the Guarantee also. Thus persons assuring with this Society,
not only pay a very low rate of premium for Life Assurance, but get in addition
to three-fourths of the Life profits, three-fourths of the Guarantee also — the two
together being equal to, if not more than the whole of the profits of the Life
Business.

All the advantages of a Mutual Society are thus at once obtained, without
incurring the liabilities attendant thereon ; and the Assurers have, in addition,
the security of a large Subscribed Capital , the prudent employment of which
gives a still further ratio of increase to profits.

Thirty days’ grace is allowed for payment of Premiums, and in the event
of death before the expiry of such grace, the claim will be paid, less amount
of premium due.

Policies lapsed by non-payment of premiums may be subsequently renewed
by paying the premium, and a small fine, on the production of satisfactory
evidence of the good state of the life assured.

All claims, Life or Guarantee, paid without reference to London.

Example.— A person 25 years of age, by paying £2 2s. 9d. Stg. ($10.40) annually, can secure £100 Stg.
($486.67) whenever death may happen, together with such addition as may have been appro-
priated to the Policy by wav of Bonus.

Premiums are also made payable Quarterly.

ft

THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Assurances are also granted upon Joint Lives; for Short Terms ; or for sums
payable at a Stated Age.

SPECIAL NOTICE. — The next investigation of the affairs of the Society with refer-
ence to the Division of Profits, will fall to be made at the close of the year 1865, and all
persons Assuring during the present year on the “ With Profits ” Table, will then be
entitled to Two Years’ Bonus, which may either be received in cash, appropriated
to the reduction of Premiums, or added to the amount Assured.

The Combination of Life Assurance with Guarantee, which is a feature
introduced by this Society , affords the following important advantages to the
Assured : —

When the Life and Guarantee Policies are for an equal amount, (the rate of
Premium of the Guarantee not exceeding one and a half per oent.,) an
abatement equal to half of the Guarantee Premium is made in the Life
Premium.

When the Life Assurance is for double the amount of the Guarantee, (the rate
being as before stated,) the whole of the Guarantee Premium is appro-
priated to the Life Premium.

For example, a Guarantee Policy is required by A. B. for £500 Stg., and the Premium
eing one and a half per cent, for the character of the risk undertaken, he pays £7 10s
Stg. a year. He Assures his Life for an equal amount, and the age being, say 35 next
birthday, the Annual Premium, with Profits as per Table of Rates annexed, is £2 15s
Stg. per cent., equal to £13 15s. Stg., for £500 Stg. ; but an abatement equal to half of
the Guarantee Premium being allowed, the Life Premium is reduced to £10 Stg., thus
presenting the advantage of an immediate reduction of the Premium equal to 27 per
cent., or.a prospective Bonus of £135 Stg. on the amount assured.

Or, suppose the Guarantee to be as above stated, £500 Stg., and the Life Assu-
rance £1,000 Stg., the yearly Life Premium, as above specified, would be £27 10s Stg •
but the whole of the Guarantee Premium (£7 10 S . Stg.) being allowed, the Life Premium
is reduced to £20 Stg., being equal to 26 per cent, immediate reduction of premium
or a prospective addition of more than £230 Stg. to the sum assured.

In other cases than those specified, the reductions are matter of special ar-
rangement, and depend on the class of risk, rate of premium, and the relative
proportion of Life and Guarantee.

The foregoing benefits are available by existing Guarantee Policy holders ,
who may be disposed to effect a Life Assurance, or by Life Policy holders who
may hereafter require Guarantee .

LOWER CANADA JOURNAL OF EDUCATION,

AND

tic Vgtt£tmction fwbUtjuc tin ”

These Periodicals, now entering upon the eighth year of their existence, are not translations
one of the other, but distinct publications, seldom containing the same matter. Subscription to
each one dollar per annum ; and to Teachers, fifty cents. Public Schools and Colleges subscrib-
ing for at least ten copies will obtain the same deductions.

Besides a vast deal of special and educational matter, partly original and partly compiled,
each number contains articles on Literature, Science, and on the History of Canada There
is, besides, a Monthly Summary, giving brief accounts of the most interesting Scientific, Literary
and Educational News, Notices of Books and Publications.

Both Journals are the Official organs of the Lower Canada Department of Public Instruction,
and contain all the documents, notices, and other official announcements of that department.
The French one will prove most useful to persons who are desirous of acquiring a knowledge of
the French language, and of French literature.

A FIRST CLASS MEDAL has been awarded to the Department at the London Exposition
of 1862, for the publication of these Journals.

Back volumes can be obtained at the Education Office, in an elegant binding, for $1.25 ;
and in boards, for $1.

These two Journals, having a wide circulation nearly spread all over the country, are one
of the best mediums for advertising. Advertisements of an educational, scientific, or literary
nature only are inserted. Terms 4d. per line first insertion, and one half for each subsequent
insertion.

A Monthly Record of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connec-
tion with the Church of Scotland, and Journal of Missionary intel-
ligence and useful information.

CONDUTED BY A COMMITTEE OF THE LAY ASSOCIATION.

This Magazine has now entered upon the 17th year of its existence, and as well in
point of outward appearance as in editorial management forms one of the most valuable

religious periodicals published in Canada. . .

In addition to editorial matter, each number contains the news of the Presbyterian
Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, a well selected compen-
dium of missionary intelligence, besides original communication and selections of general

interest and Sabbath readings. . , . „ ■

The proprietors seek to make this the organ of their Church in Canada, a periodi-
cal that shall be of real value to the family, to the church collectively, and to all its
readers individually, and the encouraging support continuously received is some evidence
that the labor bestowed by the committee has been productive of sound results.

' Subscription $1 per annum, payable in advance. Everything for insertion must be
sent in to the Editor by the 15th of the month.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

COE’S SUPER-PHOSPHATE OF LIME— A STANDAGE MANURE

FOR WINTER AND SPRING WHEAT,

BARLEY, OATS, CORN, TURNIPS, AND ALL OTHER CROPS.

It matures the crops from ten to twenty days earlier, and wonderfully increases the yield.

Lands exhausted by long cultivation are made productive by the use of this Supbr-Phos-
phate, and the effect of the Phosphate will be evident in the improved crops for successive years.

It gives wheat a firmer stalky so that it is not liable to lodge before ripening; and produces
a large head and plump berry ; and in consequence of its earlier ripening is seldom affected
by either the rust or the midge . The yield will be increased fully one-third . RYE, BARLEY or
OATS are equally benefited.

It gives CORN and PEAS a dark green color, and a vigorous growth, and causes them to
ripen at least ten days earlier .

It quickens the growth of TURNIPS, so that they usually escape the insects ; and the
increase of yield is remarkable. The same is true with CARROTS, BEETS, and other Root Crops.

It improves the quality of the Fruit of GRAPE VINES, FRUIT TREES ; also of STRAW-
BERRIES and other Horticultural Fruits. 0

Its effects upon FLOWERS and upon LAWNS are charming.

Testimonials of a very satisfactory character have been received from some of the leading farmers.

It was AWARDED THE FIRST PRIZE for ARTIFCIAL MANURE at the Provincial Exhibition in

Kingston in Sept-, 1863.

Mr. ANDREW COE, the proprietor, attends personally to the manufacture of this Super-Phosphate, and
he assures the public that they may rely upon its quality being kept up to its present standard.

DIRECTIONS. — For Wheat and similar crops . — After the land is ploughed and harrowed, apply the Super-
Phosphate, at the rate of 250 to 300 lbs. per acre, then sow the grain, and harrow all in together. For Seeds
sown in drills.— First sprinkle the Phosphate lightly in the drills, then the seed, and cover both together. For
Com and other hill crops.— rut about a table-spoonful in each hill and mix it with the soil, then cover with a
little fresh earth, and drop the corn.
